Early Mustang Rear Coil-over

[kmcanally]

I found this pic of an unfinished coil-over conversion on an early mustang. The simple design has the front of the lower bar connected to the original leaf spring spring bracket and the upper bar running to the back and connected to the rear frame rail. The beauty of this is that it requires no hacking of the floor pan to install the upper bars. A simple square tube crossmember welded in between the frame rails serves as the coil over mounts. What is not shown in the pic is either a panhard or watts link to control the side motion of the rear housing.

I am interested in knowing what you guys think of this 4-bar design.



By axing the leafs this conversion would make it easy to get a 315 tire under these cars without notching the frame rails, all you would have to do is a little surgery on the inner wheel houses.
