i may be off my rocker, but i like a challenge and something different. just visit my site if you don't believe me.
there are several kits to convert current struts to coilover struts, but i really like the look of a custom coilover conversion. they make em for the mustang II using a mustang rack and pinion steering. doesn't look like it would be too crazy to fab into place. i have done a lot of fabrication before. i own a mig, tig, plasma cutter, and compressor so i have the tools for the job.

anyone consider this? do-able?

What exacly are you asking?

You may want to give www.corner-carvers.com a look as they have a lot of good tech on them, Fox Mustangs. As for the MII suspension look here https://www.pro-touring.com/forum/showthread.php?t=16962&highlight=mustang
A simple search will do wonders.

thanks. the question is, has anyone installed an IFS in a fox stang to replace the strut set up. they have kits for the mustang II muscle cars, but don't see anything for a more modern fox body stang. hopefully that clarifies.

thanks,

michael

Well, I know that the last picture is NOT the way to do it.

Maximum Motorsports and Grigg's racing both either have setups ready, or are in development. The issue with the late Mustangs is packaging, in order to put the upper control arm in the car, it has to be really short. This has a dramatic effect on the kinematics of the system, to put it mildly. It is a non-trivial thing to tackle if you wish to do it "right."
