Autoworks/RRS looks mighty fine,,,, but alas, they have no R & P for 71-73.

You want a project, come buy mine! It would be perfect to science out a better suspension for the big Mustangs. Your thread actually has me thinking about doing that now, what could I build for it rather than buying all the stock stuff and just living with a 63 Falcon suspension. Interesting ideas, very interesting.

Believe it or not, RRS has a R & P kit and suspension kit for a 63 Falcon. You too can have a Falcon/Porche.

They also have one for the 68-71 Torino. Isn't the 71-73 stang based on the Torino???
Something very fishy there, it almost seems like intentional bastardization.

I have talked to rrs they said there is a rack and pinion for the 71-73 in the works but never gave a date when it will be done.If it was me i would use tcp coilovers over rrs the main reason is the brakes you keep your oem spindle you can use your oem brakes or upgrade to the cobra ones from mustang steve.Both you can get rotors and pads at any auto parts store no waiting for shipping.And the strut on spindle is not the best for handling i rather keep both a arms.I would do some bracing in the shock towers and sub frame connectors and maybe get a watts link for it.
