    Well hello. I have searched both the tech site and this general site . No luck. Looking for infro on after market front suspension and steering parts. At the gathering there was 3-4 cars with setups other than Stock geometry. Patches, tony,terry Hahns cars and some others. Looking for manufacturer names and any fitment problems if any. Thks Ron:)

    this is the kit in my car.

    with this kit...just weld in the crossmember, take the parts out of the boxes and bolt them on...:thumbs2:
    when ordering, tell William what motor you are running and they put the motor mount stands on the crossmember for you...:thumbs2:

    Terry/Tony/Chris, orange and white car has this setup.

    Ron, lots of options out there for you. Alot depends on what you're after. For a more "drag racing" oriented front suspension, I would look at the AJE coil-over strut conversion. If you are looking for a compromise between racing and street manners, I would probably choose the rod and custom (mustang II) style suspension. Whichever direction you decide to go, there are many options you can choose from to make each kit work best for what you want your car to do.
