Default Suspension ideas for my 1973 Fastback

I have a set up in mind, but I would like to get suggestions from you guys about upgrading my 1973 Fastback's suspension setup. I'd like the ride to be really smooth and handles really well. Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated!

Here's my car!

Welcome to MF's, Iconic

You posted in the correct section, just know next to nothing about suspension mods for your model

I am going to send you over to the Classics section and those pepes will be MUCH better equipped to help you with your questions

I appreciate the help! I thought my best bet was from the Suspension forum, but I hope I do get more answers here.

Gotta love the ol' school stangs! :thumbsup:

Our suspension bible http://home.bresnan.net/~dazed/suspension101 just ignore the lowering the upper a arm part in 71 ford lowered the upper a arm on the mustang.The front you can go for oem with upgrades to full coilovers the rear is harder no one makes a 3 or 4 link for it yet.I heard a guy on another forum took a 3 link for a 70 and made it fit but no pictures to prove it.For normal parts for it http://www.ohiomustang.com/ anything billet http://www.eddiemotorsports.com/ Anything parts you need help finding or ideas let me know.
