TCP rear coilover experiences...

TCP rear coilover experiences???

I am considering the TCP rear coil-over kit for a 68 notch and was wondering if anyone could give input? Performance, quality, ride height adjustable enough?

Also, are there any other companies making a kit like this, and are they any good?

Come on, someone has to have used this and have some feedback for me!

At 6-7 grand for their rear set-up, I don't think many have bought the system.

Check some of the other forums like Vintagemustang.com, and maybe corner-carvers.com

I checked out your music, and it's good stuff. My brother and I will be performing in San Diego at North Coast Calvary Chapel on the 19th of this month.

Would like to meet up if you have the time.

Yeah, I guess that makes sense. I had a link to a similar system for way cheaper, but lost it!

Anyway, I was actually just checking your music out too. Sounds really good. Not sure yet if I have time on the 19th. I'll find out, but in the meantime, where is North Coast Calvary Chapel?

I found the link. Don't know how similar it actually is, but its only $1250

Are you looking to build a road car or a drag car?

Road car

Would this be bad? I just like coil-overs and ease of adjustment (and I saw a similar setup in a 68 convertible I loved once... . But set me straight, I don't know much about suspension types

 

[dolfan87]

Well these guys are mostly drag stuff. That is a typical four link that you would see under a drag car.

It's tough right now with the rear ends, but check out Griggs as I know a lot of people have used their rear kits, and loved them.

Not too bad price wise, and they work well.

So is this kit a lot different from the TCP kit? Or is that more for drag too?

 

[dolfan87]

TCP's stuff is for road racing, and yes the kit you are looking at is WAY different.

Scroll down to the rear suspension area, and consider them for your car. Prices are way cheaper than TCP, and their products work.

 

[Booksix]

Cool , thanks a lot, looks great! You wouldn't happen to know where I can find some pics of this setup would you?

 

[gp001]

Here are some pics when I was researching which suspension setup to go with. I still may go with Griggs for the rear, but I am pretty sure I have the fronts covered.

Here are the TCP's
