I need a decent suspension kit

mustanglover67 · April 15th, 2008, 07:37 PM

I'm planning on buying a 67 fastback as my first car but im not sure what suspension kit to put on it. My dad says to dump the car and make it even without the ass end higher than the front end. Any ideas?

CooterTKE · April 16th, 2008, 10:38 AM

will it mainly be a DD? Good Springs and Shocks will do wonders.

This set up for the prices is a great deal Power Rack and Disk brakes. And fixes the front end.

Thank u ill look into it. What about springs?

MustangOne · April 18th, 2008, 09:54 PM

The springs you have will be fine, But if you like to repace them, the GT 620 Srings will lower the front of your car almost a 1" they are $90 . And have a higher spring rate.

I like grab-a-track stuff, it's decently priced and works well.

Steering box and tie rod ends, Idler arm help you out alot man.

Jack the front end of your car and grab your tire lift it up and down. and move it left and right. see what all moves.

460brevill · April 21st, 2008, 06:19 PM

dont jack it up under the ball joints.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

mustanglover67 · April 21st, 2008, 07:26 PM

Ok. What about lowering the back end?

MustangOne · April 21st, 2008, 07:34 PM

on the rear end of this Red GT 500 Car you see of mine, I run The 4 1/2 leaf rev eye leaf spring on it.

mustanglover67 · April 21st, 2008, 07:37 PM

Ok thanks

cprstreetmachines · April 23rd, 2008, 10:23 AM

The 620 lowering coils is a good buy but be aware that you need to cut the coils to lower the car.

stock replacement suspension with 620 springs up front and a upper a-arm drop with a good size sway bar will make the front much better. In the rear depending on how low you want it, mid eye or reverse eyes will work well as long as you get the 5 leafs. The sway bar on the rear go a long way as well!

CR70fastback · April 23rd, 2008, 04:13 PM

hey guys of those three items which would be the cheapest to have done my college student job dosn't pay very well yet.

460brevill · April 23rd, 2008, 05:40 PM

cheep is not always right.fix your steering!!!!!!!!!!!!!

mustanglover67 · April 23rd, 2008, 06:42 PM

Well i plan on stripping the car of its useless parts and using whatever is leftover. Im gonna rebuild it from the ground up but i definately want great street performance and a fast ride and i know it wont be cheap.
