Hrm... Mcpherson strut. A lot of great handling cars have them. I was never greatly fond of it because as the suspension compresses the tire doesn't stay level with the ground. Don't get me wrong... Saleen for example seems to be pulling over 1g with them on the last gen Mustang so I can't argue with the results. I just think double A arm is just the way to go.

these guys are supposed to have a system available for the early stangs that requires no cutting and replaces the LCA and strut rod with an actual A-arm setup.

it doesn't appear to be on their website yet though. i read about it in the lastest issue of Ford Builder magazine, just a little blurb about in the sema products section but still very cool. i sent them an email yesterday but have'nt heard back from them yet.
their early Nova system looks very similar to the pic that was in ford builder mag.
combine this setup with a rack and pinion and you'd be good to go, better yet, replace the upper control arms with some GW neg.wedge coilover conversion arms and the coilovers and add a rack!!!!!
I saw that one too. It appears that it keeps the upper control arm. Is that correct?
yes it does. but an SLA is much better than a mcpherson strut, not saying that struts are awful but they ain't great
I'm curious, you are saying that a SLA is better for what application?
