      Griggs/Factory Five - Spindles?

      I was looking at the Griggs racing and the Factory five racing front suspensions and I noticed that they are SLA type. The odd thing is that a late model Mustang uses a strut type. How do they get the spindles to work? And can you get the adapters separately? I was considering using mustang spindles (because of all the brake options) so any info would be really helpful!



      Thanks!

      The factory five kit uses an adapter so an upper control arm can be used instead of the strut.

      Here is a link the their site:

      Wilwood makes a real nice aftermarket mustang style spindle that is suppose to be a lot stronger than originals too.

      Griggs makes their adapter which is similar to the Factory five. When Factory Five released their new 33 Ford they have their own spindles now. I wonder if they could be used in a Mustang/Ford application????

      They are using the Fox or SN-95 strut spindle, not the MII. FF lists the adapter in their parts catalog:

      Yeah I was thinking about using the sn-95 spindles... not the Mustang II. Does anyone know where you can get the griggs? or how much they are?
      Thanks again.
