    With coilover setups, why not relocate the LCA too?

    Is there any other "factory" spindle that would be better? I remember reading something last week online about a versalies (correct spelling?) because of the length, is this correct?

    Fox Dash in 68 Coupe

    I agree with pyroman, I like the look of the classics. Yet I also hate the look of the Fox dash, just to plain and cheap looking for me.

    Fox Dash in 68 Coupe

    Has anyone thought about the '05+ dash for this? Since these new Mustangs are ment to resemble our 67-68 body styles, to include the interior, why not update your 68 with the modern dash. Just a thought.

    With coilover setups, why not relocate the LCA too?

    bnickel, Please explain what it is about the spindle that is bad. To tall? To short? Bad steering arm? This is one area where I really don't understand alot, and want to learn.

    With coilover setups, why not relocate the LCA too?

    After playing with the strut model: Racing Aspirations - a Formula 750 constructors diary (Fiat FIRE 1108) - MacPherson Geometry Calculator I have concluded that when going with a strut coilover setup, lowering the lower control arm WILL make a big difference. I just left the model where it...

    With coilover setups, why not relocate the LCA too?

    FYI, the last 2 links were working earlier today, but I can't pull them up now. Hopefully they will be working tomorrow.

    With coilover setups, why not relocate the LCA too?

    Everyone, I think I have the answers to my curious questions. This link talks about r/c cars, but the principles are the same: RcTek - Radio Controlled Model Car Handling - Camber Angle Basics Just follow the links on the left to learn all. This link gives you a moving input of...

    With coilover setups, why not relocate the LCA too?

    Your right about the pully, my typo. Thanks for the info on KRC, I haven't heard of them before, I'm researching them now.

    Shocks? or Springs? or Shocks and Springs

    suki243 is right. If you push down on your fender a couple of good times, the car should bounce back to stop in just one move. Yet if it just bounces up and down, up and down, you need shocks. Yet, if you have stiff springs, this test wont work. I know from personal experance with my Trans...

    With coilover setups, why not relocate the LCA too?

    Well, I haven't tried the smaller pully idea, but I have gone to a much smaller steering wheel, and am using 225/50 R15's in the front. This still is not nearly enough. I think I'll look into rack and pinon.

    Shocks? or Springs? or Shocks and Springs

    When I had a similar problem with my 67, it turned out to be the upper control arm. It broke through the bushing mount. Look for similar problems, and also, if its been awhile since you replaced the shocks, do them. As for the springs, not a big issue. Rob

    With coilover setups, why not relocate the LCA too?

    69GMACHINE, If I'm not mistaken, where the lower control arm is mounted now, if it were to be horizontal, it would bottom out. The arm is mounted on the inside of the frame rail, and horizontal would cause the arm to hit the frame rail. Rusty67, you suggestion has alot of merit. I have...

    With coilover setups, why not relocate the LCA too?

    Well, I'm not totally into the coilover idea. What I really want to do, is improve the handling of this car, 1967 coupe, and have better steering and brake options too. All while doing this on the cheap (if possible). I have found that using the coil over setup with struts and SN95 spindles...

    With coilover setups, why not relocate the LCA too?

    Hey Rusty67, thanks for the picks, that helps alot. I guess a good way to go would be using their lower kit, and then doing the strut coilover setup. Does anyone know if the ball joint from this kit (to fit a 1967), will fit a SN95 spindle?

    With coilover setups, why not relocate the LCA too?

    Sorry, it was hard to tell. The link shows the picture for Nova's, and I can only find how to buy Mustang kits, not pics. Well, does anyone have any more thoughts?

    With coilover setups, why not relocate the LCA too?

    Thanks for the link, and it would appear that this reinforces my ideas of relocating the mounting point of the lower control arm. After all, your car handles better now.

    With coilover setups, why not relocate the LCA too?

    I should add, the best way to prove/disprove this would be to have a suspension geometry program, and then plug in both ways and see who wins, but I cannot afford the $500+ for the program.

    With coilover setups, why not relocate the LCA too?

    Well, I'm no engineer, but I'm looking at old vs new. My old '67 had the lower control arm's mounting point on the frame rail, and so when it reached the spindle, it was sitting at a serious angle. Now take a newer Mustang, say my buddy's 1995. It has the lower control arms mounted...

    With coilover setups, why not relocate the LCA too?

    I was thinking something like a K-member would be done. Either lowering the mounting point of the orginal lower control arm, or using newer style arms. For example, if were talking about switch over to a coil over setup, say like RRS. They will use a SN95 spindle. Well, why not use the...

    With coilover setups, why not relocate the LCA too?

    While doing research for differant setups to improve the handling of a 1967 mustang, I noticed a lot of strut and coilover setups. Yet these all use a new beefed up lower control arm still mounted in the stock location. Correct me if I'm wrong, but at a normal ride height, the stock set up has...
