I'm in northern NJ and could help you out. About 2 - 2.5 hr from Philly. PM to discuss further.

I have seen TBart's Martz setup first hand. Martz is OK for its intended purpose (Saturday night special or circle track). Needs a bit of work to make 'proper'. Not recommended for road or common (not full blown race) car.

68 vert mustang
intention is to build the car, old body with performance and handling beyond the new cars. Ive done alot of reading and the roads take me back to RSI and Schwartz. I dont understand spending 10-15 $$$ on front and back suspension spend another 3$$ and get a full frame.
Anyone have any experience on the Mustangs please Help

just browsed there site and it looks like old Mustang 2 tech and they stick it under everything? even early corvettes... and hell the early vette had better suspension than the Mustang two :hammer::hammer: ......what did you want it for?

OK sorry I looked at a previous post its for a 68 Mustang.... Ok they (Martz) want $3050 dollars for the FRONT suspension....I looked at our Base suspension Kit for the Mustang and for $3850 and that does the front and rear of your car with all 4 coilovers and the Million mile warranty on those! all four front control arms, and a multi link rear suspension... its just a thought, and that gets the WHOLE suspension done for 800 buck more than they wanted for just the front

I need to loose the shock towers to fit the engine. Does the above mentioned system remove the towers?

OLD thread I know
But, if you're still contemplating on this
the answer to your question is no.

Also wouldnt just using martz rear suspension and installing Roto joints/del-spheres/johnny-joints at each end of trailing arms turn it into an actual corner carver setup vs sat night drag/circle track? or are then arm angles all wrong?
