First time on any site. not keyboard savey so bare with me. I just put in the cpp front set up in my 68 coupe. Beating on the car since a week ago and i have to say- i likey! Car has a one inch coil drop along with a Shelby drop. Running a 18 x8 rim 26" tall tire manual disc break. Car was no problem to align. Rear is still leaf set up with a sway bar and a shortened 8.8 18x9.5 rim and a 295 tire. Also disc. Car handles like a go cart and is point and shoot without surprises. Big bang for buck.what can you tell us abouy the geometry changes and how they affect the drivability of the car? stuff like caster gain/loss, camber gain/loss, bumpsteer, etc.
also, the ad you guys have says you have options like drop spindles, brake kits, etc. do you have those available yet or they also a future offering? if they are available do you have any pics you can post?
do you have any pics of the mustang kit installed also?
as long as your lower rad support is solid and your frame rail outer lips are also solid, you can go to town with this setup. the steel plate acts like an export brace from the shock tower and forward, where the car can use a lot less twisting and flexing. follow the toque spec in the instructions and the units fit will impress you. my father has an all orig setup in his 68 ragtop and as a mustang lover i hate to say it drives like an old wheel barrel. my 68 coupe, for the price and the ease of install of the cpp suspension, handles like a race car.the problem is that it's so new no one has really tried it yet. the nova forums may not be a bad idea actuall.
it does appear to have a lot of bang for the buck
lol ! i am designing my own suspension, but i also really like this setup too. i think this kit modified to use coilover on the lower arm would be a nice setup ! pretty cheap tooK772 is also the part number for the Mustang 2 screw in ball joint. Looks like we are both right =)
My 67 is currently down for the count due to non-suspension related issues. I did check the front suspension on it about 2 months ago and the bushings they use in the arms are holding up perfectly even with the car sitting there doing nothing like it shouldn't be. The one area I saw that was bad was the balljoint boots. The boots have deteriorated and one of them fell appart. Really, they should have used the poly boots for longevity. The last time I had the car out, the thing handled FANTASTIC. My only other sugestion besides getting the proper spindle adaptor for the balljoint would be to buy poly balljoint boots and put those on prior to assembly. Other then that, the kit is killer and the best value for your dollar if you aren't going to do vintage legal racing.
