Front suspension for an early Mustang


I've looked at just about every suspension system available, and have decided on either the Griggs or the one from the Roadster Shop
I know of several cars that use the Griggs and it is a proven design. My question is has anyone used or is knowledgeable of the suspension from the Roadster Shop? The Vette spindles is a plus as well as the design of of the control arms and the chassis stiffening.

This will be going in a Dynacorn '67 FB body.

That is a lot of scratch for a front suspension. Are you doing a ground up resto?

OP's starting with a repop body, so basically the equivalent job.

As to the question at hand, Griggs is a local shop for me, and I've never heard of Roadster Shop. Griggs' stuff is all top notch, however keep in mind that it's pure race oriented, and as such will make concessions in terms of NVH for quicker laptimes.

Oops missed that part, I was tired when I posted lol. Thanks for the correction.

Are the Griggs kits functional for the street?
