    Clutch equalizer bar with headers

    I use 3/8" round bar to beef-up the Z bars. Most anything can be used as a brace. Some 3/4" flat strap will work too. These are our roller Z bars but the regular Z bars get the same bracing. http://members.cox.net/opentracker/rollerzbar-1.jpg...

    leaf springs mods

    http://forums.stangnet.com/showthread.php?t=544275 Here is some good reading on leaf spring mods. We rebuild leaf springs to get the ride height and spring rate we want. You can add several half leafs on the front half to act as a traction aid if you want. John

    What is the wedge angle on negative wedge kits?

    It is a roller shaft kit. I don't have the shafts made up in quanity, we are still a rather small shop. The shafts are made of 4140 chromoly and cost $100ea with bearings and hardware to produce. I know the price is high on them. It does take a lot of time and money to produce the roller UCA's...

    What is the wedge angle on negative wedge kits?

    Our arms are given a 20deg bend. The cut is made in the side just behind the ball joint dome. IMO, this is a safer way to go than with a wedge and wedge shaped washers. Here is some more info.http://www.protoworks.com/Mustang/Suspension/MustangSuspension.html Then the bracing is welded...

    Lower ball joint

    Since both the ball joint and spherical bearing are replaceable, you never have to change the lower arm. The ball joint part number is #20034 and the sleeve is #20043 from AFCO Racing. It is a lot of work though but well worth it when your done. John

    Lower ball joint

    You could weld in a sleeve and use a screw in ball joint. And then do this to the inside pivot. http://forums.stangnet.com/showthread.php?t=487944 I don't know of anyone selling just the ball joint. Most of the time the whole arm is replaced. John

    cool 65 drifting video

    Well, call me a moron but that looks like fun. The guy has some good car control. I used to go pick up my friends on rainy days with my parents caddy and go around town getting sideways around every long corner we could find. They call it drifting now but we called it power sliding or...

    Leaf Springs, Coils & Shocks

    We have had good luck putting KYB shocks up front and the Grab-A-Track shock in the rear on the street driven cars we build kits for. The KYB is a bit too stiff for the rear. The Grab-A-Track shock is made by Monore and isn't as stiff as the KYB. We have the progressive rate springs on our web...

    Shelby mod on 65

    That page put together by 2bav8 is the best I have seen on the 1" upper arm drop, nice work Matt. Lowering blocks work well on cars that aren't raced. If your going to race the car, rebuilding the springs is the best way to go. Read this...

    Drag race suspension?

    I'm not a drag racer but I like this idea for a leaf spring. This could be done at home with a stock set of leafs and a used set as a donor for the extra leafs. I count 6 on the front side and 3 out back. All 6 go under the housing. This should stop the wheel hop and keep the squat factor under...
