    Dynamat ???

    Good timing! I was just doing a little research on the subject today. I have a roll of standard dynamat that I purchased a while ago. Most of the reviews and comments I read agree that dynamat is a great product but over-priced. Readers mention other products such as second skin...

    Q's about the Wilwooods

    I can't speak for wheel size and fit for a 1969, but I would check this site- http://www.dodgestang.com/mustang.htm Dodgestang has compiled a list of setups that others are using on their mustangs. As for the wilwoods, according to the dealer I spoke with (says they're the largest in...

    Interest In Global West Parts?

    I just purchased a global west suspension minus the springs three weeks ago. Unfortunately, a personal issue came up suddenly and I may be forced to sell the parts. They are new, never installed tubular upper and lower control arms, adjustable strut rods and beefy tie rod adjusting sleeves...

    Source for Progressive Rate Springs?

    Alright, I have my entire suspension ready to go except for my front coils. Wondering if anyone knows of a source for progressive rate coils for a 1968. Pro-motorsports, Dallas Mustangs, Mustangs plus and one other shop were all on backorder until who knows when. From what I hear Eibach has...

    Advice from Global West Owners...

    Thanks everyone for the input. Dolfan67, in case you check thanks for the clarification. Hope your R & D on the coilovers is going well. I was pretty surprised with the lack of information/response from the folks at TCP. What you say makes sense. I must say I probably would have gone with...

    does this sound like a scam?

    I'm a bit of an audiophile and recently looked into purchasing an amplifier for my system from England. The amp weighed 75lbs. and was about $1300 used. Shipping was about $200 and import duties were another $200. Now, I can probably buy the same amp here with a little searching for $1800...

    Advice from Global West Owners...

    Just started receiving my Global West Front upper/lower tubular arms, strutrods and tierod adjusting sleeves. Lowers are two weeks on backorder :( which has me nuts. Then I learn the progressive rate springs are on backorder...aaarrrgh! A glimmer of hope that I can pick up the roller bearing...

    Need some car leagal advice.Got a destroyed!

    Just my two cents here, but your buddy is falling into the middle of a huge insurance game. I'm no lawyer, however, long ago I worked for a firm that supported lawyers who represented many insurance companies. I've sat in on numerous depositions and trials during that time. Maybe Texas law is...

    Couple cool pics...new suspension design

    First and foremost, the pics look great without the powdercoating. We all know you've been working hard at the design and build. Obviously, the next question is performance and feel; which I'm looking forward to hearing about in the near future. I just wish hope you get back to us soon so I...

    Will this wheel have enough clearance?

    So I was doing a little more research on the subject and found out that the "new" unique performance cobra GT500E cars use a 17x8 rim (4.25in backspacing) with Baer brakes and what is essentially a TCP coilover front suspension. If they're getting those to fit, is the coilover system providing...

    Will this wheel have enough clearance?

    So after much debate I found a set of rims I like. I'm swapping for looks and to fit my Baer Disks I'm about to order. Problem is the shop that carries them is too far away. They offered to ship at a very reasonable cost. The rims are 17x8 with 4.25in of backspacing. These are special...

    Global West or TCP?

    The first two numbers are not for coilover systems as stated in the original post. Those are systems based on the original suspension but take into account the need for a drop on the uppers as well as lengthening the upper slightly and modifying angles. Each uses tubular components instead of...

    Global West or TCP?

    People are wondering about cost differences so here it is: Global West System (Uppers, lowers, strut rods) $1795 TCP System (Uppers, lowers, strut rods) $1755 TCP/Unique Coilover System $2400 Both GW and TCP tubular setups take into account the need for new springs, shocks...

    Global West or TCP?

    I'm currently shopping for a new(and improved) front suspension for my 1968 daily driver. I drive my car hard on the weekends and spend too much time in traffic during the week. I realize some may believe the original suspension is fine...I don't. There is always room for improvement. If the...

    Brake Spindle Source?

    I'm planning on doing a disc brake upgrade on my 68. Wondering if anyone has a source for 70-73 Drum brake spindles? I'm looking for the beefier spindles to swap onto the car. Also wondering if anyone has done this, and if so do I need to use 1970 tierod ends? Thanks, 68modstang :bang:

    Break Upgrade Spindles?

    I've heard mention in some of the posts here that some members have swapped spindles to a later year. I remember it being said that the later years (my mustang is a 1968) had beefier spindles than earlier models. Wondering if anyone has done this, and if so does it change your geometry? In...

    9" Axle decode required

    Your axle WES-T is a 2.75 ratio 9 inch. Are the codes on the tag as you have listed them with 2LA on the top line. Ford has changed it's tags about five or six times. The axle I believe would most likely be out of a 1968 Mustang. By the way the casting number on the case would also help...

    Tranny leak help!

    So I admit it, I know very little about my tranny. The engine and suspension I could do in the dark, but that ominous tranny I have stayed away from as though it took magic. I was working on the suspension a few days ago (not in the dark) when I noticed tranny fluid on the floorboards. Not a...

    Rearend swap...driveshaft swap??

    In the long list of things to do to my daily driver it's almost time to do the rear. Because of the prices to do work on the rear it's got me thinking of upgrading. My 68 has an original 8in rear and I'm thinking of going to a 9in or perhaps 8.8in.(Currie is only a 1/2 hr away). Question is...

    Crate Engine Install Questions

    So, I'm getting to the point where I am redy to do the engine in my 68. The car has a tired original 289. I've been looking at a ford crate engine (320/315hp) for a daily driver that has had the suspension updated with performance goodies. Not injecting for now to conserve cash. Wondering if...
