I am starting a new project. It is a 1965 mustang fastback. The car will have a twin turbo 302 in it that makes around 800 hp. Also going to put a 6 speed trans in it. I am looking to mostly drive it on the street and every once in a while take it to the drag strip or the texas mile. I have completely diassembled the car and started stripping off all the paint. I have been looking at IFS for it. I am looking for people opinions on them. I have narrowed it down to the heidts or TCI. Also looking to upgrade the rear suspension and would appreciate any suggestions.

Thanks, Doug

Look at the StreetorTrack coil-over suspension system, IMO the MustangII style IFS isn't worth the time or money.

Strut style front end would be way better than a Mustang II style. Way more adjustable IMO. Don't forget to start a build thread so me can see the progress on your build.

I went the Schwartz performance chassis route. You will spend a lot less in the long run. And you will get rid of the shock towers.

Also check out Coretex Racing here...they seem to know what they are doing. They are building a 68 Cougar in an ongoing PHR series...its pretty hardcore. They are building a 66 Coupe too...
