coil overs for 65 need cacs.

[Cliff Yates]

I am building a coil over set for a 65-66 mustang (road race AIX) I have the over all design competed but there is a couple load Issues I need deal with as in the lower control. I would like to make it fully adjustable using a ladder bar Adjuster ¾ x 16 R by ¾ x 16 L . Is type of setup had bin used on pan hard bar but the grade 5 bent and the grade 8 snapped. The question is how much loud, and share is on the LCA at the frame mount. Need cacs.

Just curious (this is not my field), but why the extra length on the upper arm?

I an still in the mockup stage, have not establish a length on then.
Does any body out there have the demotions on a Global West set up for a 65-66? Ball ball joint angel on the LCA and the UCA ect

The longer length of your upper arm is going to make for one bad camber curve....it needs to be shorter.

I recently saw a write up on it in a magazine (which I cannot remember unfortunately).... I think it had a wheel rate calc on it which would give the lower spring/shock mount vs. the lower ball joint wouldn't it?
I don't think it gave any other dimensions...(angles, etc)
Other than that, I cannot find any information on the thing.
I think it was hot rod, but again, I'm not sure.

Good Luck!

The latest hot did run a article on Global West new C/O set .I have not see it but I will defiantly need to look at it.
I caning the lower adjuster for now and moving then to the Upper control arms. Yes the uppers will need to be shorter.

Someone there said that it was $3k w/SA shocks...

I believe you started posting about GW's suspension a while back on corner-carvers...
I am interested in your set up as you continue to work on it, as I am Dolfan's...
