      65 Mustang Heidts rear suspension...yea or nay?

      So, its been out a while now and I am curious about it. I am pondering one for my 65 Fastback. It fits the budget for my street car, but is it a good piece or should I build up a leaf spring system? I dont have a big budget for some of the other competing products, hence my curiosity about the Heidts...



      Thanks

      Which of thier rear suspension setups are you contemplating?
      Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming 'WOW What a Ride!'

      I installed the Heidt's 4 link in a 65 Fastback 2.5 years ago and it is a great kit for the money the fit was great and its an overall great kit for the money. I am a dealer for Heidts and can save you some money. Give me a call if your interested.

      I like the TCI setup better than heidts. I cant remember all of my reasons at the moment.

      The TCI unit is a torque-arm and must use a 9" housing. It is best for track or autocross and is good for the street too. The Heidts 4-link works great for street and drag and also handles good too. It works with a 8" or 9" housing.

      Another consideration might be our AirBar triangulated 4 link. It is now available as a stand alone unit and can be used with our Shockwaves or our coilovers.

      It is a bolt in unit that requires no cutting or fabrication. The only welding required is the 4 tabs that mount the upper bars to teh rearend housing.
