I've already searched this forum and could not find anything related to this. I was wondering if anyone has heard of, or seen, or actually has a double wishbone suspension for the front end of the stang?? I would love to turn my stang into a track car....eventually and I want to be able to hang with RX-7's and etc. Let me know what you guys have found out about this.
Double Wishbone conversion??

I don't see why... i would probably require extensive remodeling and even then it might not fit under the inner fender and stuff.
Griggs Racing and HP Motorsports both have a system out. When searching, try using SLA for Short Long Arm suspension. Also take a look at this site: http://www.miracerros.com/mustang/t_suspension.htm#Front

grab this, you won't even worry about RX-7's, you can target the better things like boxsters and such

Well I've started over again with a cobra. I'm actually piecing my own setup back together with some of my 'improvments'

there's more to a good setup than just having the correct names.Ghost Stripes said:
A bad IRS/double whish bone setup will perform far worse than a well sorted Mac Phurson (sp?) strut and live rear.
Weight is the enemy here. Not design.
Also which end of the car are you talking about, font/rear or both?
personally I like the look of Evolution Motorsports Tri-link setup, it still uses the live rear at the back but is controlled better and uses a Watts linkage.
It's a little pricey but not expensive, and IMO the best bet if you want to imporve the handling.
Do a Goggle search for them or search this forum.

I like Pro3 and all I got was this crappy CT.
true. most of them have selfdistructed by now anyway.tomustang said:
But FD3 was nice looking car. there is one gut works at walmart have black 94 R1 with 18"BBS, and it does look nice
And as far as the Double A arm set up goes, if you did extensive resarch and testing, then may be it'll make our car handle better. But I think we might get better result out of tubure K-member with true coil over set up, and 5link system, which u can get prolly far cheaper then divelop your own x2A-arm setting, or adapting one from other. or drop IRS from Cobra
do we even have "true Macphearsonset up on our car??ghoststripes said:
no the 2005's do though. well i think an SLA conversion at the front with an IRS in the back would improve the handling on my GT drastically. of course using a Watts link in the back with the live axle and setting up a three link would be nice as well, not to mention all the torque abuse it can handle. tom i'm interested in your suspension set-up on your previous stang, and let me know what you plan to do with your cobra. one more question, if indeed you converted to the SLA set-up in the front did you run into problems trying to install and fab??
I have the Maximum motorsport 3 link and torque arm setup on my 89 notch and it handles awesome. I would like an IRS its just too expensive to upgrade and Kenny Brown tubular parts take away 40% of the 75lbs added with the IRS. The problem is that you have to notch the rear frame which I think its alittle drastic.
Griggs has a nice SLA setup but, with all their parts its really f**king expensive. Its close to $5000 with shipping I talked to some companies that sell the kit and I'm trying to find out if there is basic pieces you can buy to get alittle bit of a start and not spend so much. Griggs is too high priced. It looks like a nice setup though.
Heres a good suspension site for mustangs
