Default RRS Front Suspension?

Who has it and what do you think of it? I am leaning toward a stage 2 or 3 kit for my 67FB project but am wondering what one has to do to get replacement brake pads and rotors if they are ever needed. Do you have to get the stuff directly from RRS or is there a factory application that will work?

Not the question you asked but here is my 2 cents
I dont have it.
Did look into it a before I did the rod@customs stang2 setup.
It seemed a bit pricey for what others wanted for the same thing.

Look into what the guys @ CPR use.
I think is a AJE system, I would trust those guys views on this they have done several so far.
I chose to delete the shock towers since they were shot anyway.
If I had a better car to tart with I would have gone the AJE.

I don't care for the design. You can't lower the engine if you wanted because the stock steering is still in the way. It runs a strut rod still. Which means the lower moves in an arc because of the rod, which causes other changes in the suspension geometry. Look like nice pieces. With the AJE stuff you can mix and match if you wanted. I chose a stock SN 95 spindle with their lowers and K-member and I am adding strange adjustable drag coil overs

Is the AJE a bolt in system? I went to their website but couldn't really tell. Also, do you HAVE to cut the shock towers out? I am not really wanting to do any major hacking on the body of my car. That's the reason I quit racing it. Didn't want to cut it up for more rear tire or a roll cage when it got too fast.

The kit does bolt in. You don't need to cut the towers like we do, or the website shows. But you do need to take out the center ribbing of the tower that heads down to the motor mounts, and take all that out to make room for the k-member. We've done it a few time like that. Either kit you have to mod a little to fit the CC plates. Not sure if you have to with RRS 100%, can't see it fitting around the coil spring cup.
