Forum Newbie.

Question. Need new suspension for a 68 FB. is it worth the extra cost to go with a coil over set-up such as the one by TCP? This is for a street cruiser.

Depends on who you talk to and what you want out of the car. I do like the way a friends 68 rode with the mustang 2 front end, but its a lot of money in my opinion. I think a rack and pinion with the stock upgraded suspension would make any mustang lover happy, not to mention their bank account. Now... If i had the money to spare.. hmmm?

^^Well stated^^

My numbers are approximate but:

You can spend a few hundred dollars to replace bushings and what not and bring your suspension's level of performance up to 75% better than it was or you can spend $6-7k and bring it up to 100% better than it was. There is a huge curve as far as dollars and time spent to get above the 75% range, that saying, you can get a huge increase in performance from mild upgrades without having to change too much on your car if that makes sense.

I have front and back coils, and it is the single best up-grade, and best dollar that I ever spent on my car. Send me a PM and I will send pictures and discuss more in detail if you are serious about this endeavor.
