Hi all--Im net to the forum--Ive had my 68 Mustang coupe for going on 8 years now, and I need some help with a new suspension kit. I dont have the money to do a full bolt in kit, such as Fatman Fabrications---or another from TCP--however, I am planning on doing somewhat of a custom install on the front suspension and could really use everyone's expert advise on this!!!---

I plan on using a spindle from an sn95 mustang and using a somewhat modified coil-over setup--which will have a variable sized spring that will rest on a coil-over type perch, but widens up to the standard mustang shock tower upper spring perch--Id also use a custom top mount for the shocks(as they mount right onto the spindle)--

My real question is if the stock style lower control arms, have the same measurements and/or geometry as the fatman fabrications kit---i guess if anyone out there would know or has anyplace I can find this info---id really apreciate any help!! Thanks A Lot!!!!

 

I can't answer your question, but maybe someone on here can. The reason I am replying is to welcome you to the classic section of the Mustang Forums.

 

Thanks!! Im hoping someone can---I have been wanting to get my car back together for a while now, and I want to do it without a ton of money, simply cause I dont have it! I know that if I dont this car done soon it never will--with trying to start a painting business and buy a house its nuts!! Thanks for the welcome--glad to be here!!

 

Best advice is to call Fatman and ask them if there is a difference. What you are doing doesnt sound cheap, a Shelby drop and polyuerthane would be the cheapest route I could think of that still nets improved syspension geometry.

I was reading somwhere a few months back about a similar setup, but for the life of me I cant remember if it sas a magazine (which title would be another hurdle) or if it was on the internet...

 

Where can I find more info on a Shelby Drop--im not totally familiar with that---should I just search these forums??--thanks!!

 

Here is a tech article on the Shelby drop. It is also in conjunction with the Granada swap, so just scroll down to read about the Shelby drop.

 

where?

 

I just did the shelby drop today. Go to the FAQ on the top of the classic forum page. and scroll down and find it. It's not to hard to do at all, just make a good template
