'89 Mustang - Air Ride & New Wheels

[wiedemab]

The front is 94/95 spindles with Mach 1 calipers (same as Cobra, but they're gray) w/ 13" discs. The rear is stock fox width 5-lug axles with 11.65 Cobra rear disc and caliper setup using North Racecars brackets to mount the calipers. I basically tried to replicate the M2300K kit by sourcing the parts on my own and still retaining the Fox rear width. I saved some money in doing it this way.

You'll need to be carefull with going with the wider SN95 rear axle depending on which wheels you are going to run on the rear. This site is a pretty good reference.

I used a '93 Cobra master cylinder with a defeated stock proportioning valve. I then added an adjustable proportioning valve.

Anyway, I could ramble on forever. PM me if you have any specific question. I'd be happy to share my experience if it would help.



Take care

I got some 03 Gt wheels on mine, same as Bullitts. I'll take some pics soon.

Did you ever sell your Mustang? KNow anyone looking for a 92 Notchback?

[wiedemab]

No, I still have it. Noone really wanted to pay what I think the car is worth. I didn't really need to get rid of it.............. With the economy in the dumper, it's doubtful that anyone is going to want to spend good money for an '89 Mustang. You never know, I guess that one person may be out there ;)

I don't know of anyone looking for a coupe right now. If I think of anyone, I'll PM you. PM me the information on the car if you have it.

Very Nice Man, I love the setup. I am working on a 93 Cobra pro touring right now. I am glad to see someone share the same enthusiasm with the fox mustangs as I do... I have been tossing up different wheels for a while now. I am actually thinking of doing a web wheel. Problem is I need a 9.5 rear wheel with a 0 offset and a 4.5" backspace. Tough... I dont think I read it anywhere but what size tires are you running?

You would probably be better off posting this in the For Sale section of the forum.

I'm running a 17x8 30mm offset in the front w/ 235/45 tires. In the back they are 17x9 24mm offset w/ 255/45 tires.

You can get away with more tire in the front depending on your stance, but I needed some clearance to the let the car go as low as it does. In the rear, I'm still running quad shocks, but the inner lip of the quarter has been rolled. I also rolled the inner lip of the front fenders slightly when we had the car stripped.

I posted this in the for sale section on a Mustang site, but since it was related to my car, I thought I'd offer it up in this thread.

I'm considering a different direction for my car, since it didn't sell. If anyone knows of anyone that would be interested in buying the complete AirRide setup from my car I might be removing it. It would include the complete CoolRide setup from ART, Maximum Motorsports rear lowers that are modified for the air bags, compressor, tank, valves, gauges along with the custom lasered switch panel that fits in the ash tray and the lasered gauge panel.

Basically, I'm thinking of making my car into something that I can take to Open Track days etc..
