    Front Coil Over and 60’ times – 65 Mustang

    This type of coil-over should give you what you're looking for. Double adjustable valving plus the option of a near stock ride height or a one inch lowered upper mount. This setup has about three more inches of suspension travel that the LCA mounted coil-over. This allows more usable and tunable...

    '66 Front Suspension

    As Dodgestang pointed out, you can get away with running a 235 or 245 section width but on a 245 you'll need to roll the inner fender lip if you haven't done so already. The majority of benefit to lowering the pivot shaft happens at 1". Anything beyond that only gives minimal gains and also...

    '66 Front Suspension

    You didn't say what size tires you were trying to fit. Shortening the TCP arms using the adjustment couplers and the vario-centric kit will give you some more room though. What is your goal in lowering the pivot shaft to 1-3/4"? And, a coil-over system mounted to the lower arm is better...

    TCP front suspension???

    On a Mustang I would go with the TCP components. Mainly because keeping the shock towers intact and being able to use standard chassis stiffening components is a big plus for handling. The g-Machine system can yield excellent handling if the area of the chassis on which it is mounted is stable...

    TCP front suspension???

    We (Chassisworks/TCP) manufacture both types of systems. Component choices from each product line can be scaled to match your intended performance goals. The Chassisworks g-Machine Front Crossmember System (info link) is our improvement over the general MII configuration. It can be built to...

    Lower control arm bolts

    I would recommend supporting the car by the chassis when loosening any suspension component hardware. Any of the "what if" scenarios will play out better if you're just dealing with the weight of the suspension loading the bolt versus the entire front weight of the car. Safety first. As far...

    Ron Morris Street Force vs TCP coilover

    TCP Recommendation: 450 lb spring is fairly standard for a '67 small-block car. We don't step up to 500 lb unless its a big-block street car or small-block predominantly track car. If you have additional TCP questions, fire away. Lino (Chassisworks/TCP)

    I'll make sure that gets into the suggestions box before the next production run. I really appreciate the constructive product feedback.

    Updated TCP G-Bar triangulated 4-link...

    I think I misunderstood the fitment issue. You're suggesting that adding a slot between the two pinion-offset bolt holes would enable the jig to be used with non-Mustang 9" housings with odd pinion offsets... that makes good sense. Is this correct?

    Updated TCP G-Bar triangulated 4-link...

    To account for differences in the shape of various 9" center sections, step 10 of the weld jig instructions refers to grinding each bracket's base to best fit the axle tube. Slotting the fixture eliminates any accuracy it provides for correct placement of the brackets. Weld Jig Instructions...

    Updated TCP G-Bar triangulated 4-link...

    What I meant by this statement is that there will always be some degree of resistance from the bushings as the suspension moves. Take for example an lower control arm with poly bushings at each end. In order for the chassis to roll in relation to the rearend housing the bushings must deflect or...

    TCP Rack&Pinion, Steering Fluid

    The TCP rack requires petroleum based power steering fluid. This is just the cheap stuff and is usually clear. Synthetic and newer ATF fluids contain detergents that will deteriorate the rack's internal seals.

    TCP rack + Vario Camber setup in a '66 ?

    The outer frame rail brackets have about a 1/4" slot that allow the rack to be shifted fore and aft. That allows for some variance in the thickness of the hardware on the backside of the lower control arm mount. The brackets are really designed to be used with a 1/4" thick washer or eccentric...

    New TCP Catalog/Products

    That is correct. To move beyond the shocks preload adjustment range, the shock mounts have to be moved or changed. The g-Bar rear suspension's upper and lower shock mounts are both movable. The front coil-over shock tower mounts can be changed to a taller or shorter mount; or a one-inch extended...

    Reen is pretty much spot on with his recommendation. I'll just add that converting to coil-over suspension gives you the ability to easily make tuning adjustments that you either cannot make or that would be rather time consuming with your current setup.
