Heidts Suspensions (IFS Front, 4-bar Rear) Your Thoughts?

66 FSTBK RR · January 21st, 2008, 07:20 PM

Curious since my project is in need of such repair, and that all frame rails will be replaced, what everyone thoughts are on this aftermarket suspension kit. Please any information, experience, or word of mouth stories appreciated.

The Front IFS

The Rear with Panhard bars...

In tangent with the body stiffner

And the Frame rail extensions...

Your Thoughts?????

Since we are kind of looking in the same ballpark I've found a couple of sites:
http://www.streetrodparts.tv/64-70%20Mustang%20Custom%20IFS.htm
http://www.mustangdepot.com/OnLineCatalog/Suspension/suspension.htm

I also have an IRS cage out of a `99 Cobra that I'm going to put in using the DVS restoration kit. In time....

Heidt's is just down the street over in Wauconda, being that you are only in Green Bay, why not give them a call, and ask about their stuff for your application. At least its made in the USA.

Heidts fit for the 4 link wasn't horrible. Took a little massaging though. Only real complaint was they really need to make the arms double adjustable. Pain in the ass to get pinion and alignment right when you have to drop the bar every time.

Been looking into the Heidt stuff myself.

I am in the same rusted boat as the next person and my thoughts as well, If I have to replace all this structure why not get rid of all te problems with the OEM ride and put in a ride that could make it handle better. I have a problem doing all this work to have it float down the boulevard.

There are several kits out there and they all get rid of that spongy floating feel with the road. I don't want to be driving a stagecoach but I want to feel the road.

I'll be keeping up with this one. OBTW, the kits will go in a '68 coupe.
