Rear Suspension 69 Mustang

[Maier Motorsports]

George,
I came across your thread so I thought I would through some things out there. I rarely visit the forums and here I am now. When we developed the coil over system for our shop car it was way more challenging than I thought it would be. If I was going to offer something to a customer I felt obligated to make sure I took into consideration as many scenarios as possible like.. roll center height, pinion angle, shock travel and shock location to name a few. These are the things most customer really don't get into but sometimes they find out about them after it's to late and your new system doesn't or can't adjust that annoying issue. It can be something simple like drive line vibration and your new arms don't adjust this. Any how you get the gist. When I made Ol Blues rear suspension I tried to attend to all these thing and it made the cost pretty high. Then once I was done it was really cool but at what cost? I figure for some one who want to have something that can work really good but isn't planning on selling off a child to get it, we can't discredit your standard rear suspension with a good combination of parts. Kenny Edwards just finished in the top 5 at Good Guys in Columbus Oh. this weekend with a basic rear set up. Do a little research on leaf springs, shocks, and maybe some cool add on's to spice it up. With the right parts you can get way more than you thought you could get out of the car.
