i know you buy the kits to do the front for 800-900$ but im sure you could get parts yourself much cheaper. any suggestions? maybe a parts list or something

 

check the faq - they have several links including granada, gm stuff, also scarebird, and of course check Hemmings - you should be able to get a kit for $550 (degins sells the granada kit that i just ordered for $545- haven't put it on but the product & packaging looks sweet). lots of stuff on here so try searching on a few different terms and you should be set

 

i just bought a 72 grande, and im trying to pull my list of things to do together, also what would be decent in the rear suspension setup, it has new air shocks but it dont feel right..

can you give me a link to where you purchased the kit from

 

cheapest I've found for front discs is the Scarebird.com conversion. He sells the brackets and a parts list of all the other items you need to buy, ~$320 total IIRC.

damdanger - get rid of the air shocks, they are a cheap trick to try to support a car with sagging springs. Problem is the shock mounts are not designed to support the car and with time and bumps they will be damaged. All of the mustang parts suppliers sell rear end rebuild kits. What are you trying to achieve? Stock, road coarse, drag....

 

i guess im trying to make it mildly street aggressive, i want to make the suspension nice and sound then move to the motor

 

scarebird has decent stuff, but from what i've looked at, it's mostly chebby parts. now, my stang is not a chevy so i'm going with ford or aftermarket parts, no chevy stuff. but if you've got a tight budget, it's not a bad deal.

as per your suspension. remove those air shocks. it's cool if you wanna change the hight, but they will destroy the mounts. i'm putting about 5G's into the rear suspension and another 3-4G's intot he front, but that's my car and my choice. it may not be best for you, your plans and/or your budget. there are many other kits that will greatly improve your handeling.

 

yeah im not goin all out, just want to make it ride decent

 

If you aren't going to race it, new leaf springs and a set of KYB gas adjust shocks will greatly improve the ride and handling.

 

im not plannin on goin to the track but the occasional strip, or just whenever i come across sumthin at a light

 

damdanger, here is the link (it is also in the faq under granada disc brake conversion)
