After seeing the Heidt second gen Camaro run in the Super Chevy Suspension Challenge, I have a much improved opinion of them. Mary drove it and liked it, the car turned very fast laps in the autox, - I think they were second fastest, and with a brand new car! They don't use any aluminum knuckles or A arms, so I wouldn't rate them as high as a DSE or Morrison sub, but they did perform well.

I know im late to answer but the Heidt 4 link i put on a 66 mustang did not fit and the car was straight i had it on a frame jig to check it.And the coil overs that came with it where way too soft it bottomed out a lot.And the 4 link was bought about 6 months ago the owner of the car took it off 2 weeks later and ebay it.

Hopefully the new owners will straighten these things out. I met Marc, one of the owners and I think they realize Muscle cars are the hot rods of the future and they want to be in on this market.

Did anyone talk to Heidt about the Mustang problems? Was it the new management? I think they took over some time early 2008?

I am sorry for what happened............did you buy direct or a dealer? We would have exchanged springs, and that would have taken care of the shock and spring problem. I am very confused.......if it had the original frame and it was straight, you should've had no problems. We have sold hundreds of these kits and the ones we have had questions about the frames have been tampered with. Either from a wreck or from someone making changes. I am not saying you are wrong, I am just saying we would have corrected your problem so you would have been happy. Again I am sorry about what happened and I would like to know where you purchased the kit. If you could get me that info I would really appreciate it.

Thank you,
Marko

I'll ask the owner of the car he bought the kit and had me put it on.But it will be a while before i can talk to him hes in the army been gone a few months now.

I don't think I mentioned one concern with the Heidt rear suspension. The upper link on each side mounts to the unibody just outboard of the frame rail, there is a narrow area between the frame rail and inner fender. This area is removed when a minitub is done, so I don't know if this suspension is compatible. The one I saw was on a second gen Camaro, don't know how they set up the second gen system, but it may be similar.
