1972 Pro Touring Maverick.....I need your help!

[Nothingface5384]

I have to disagree, the Maverick uses basically the same rear suspension as the Mustang. The 8" rear uses the same flange as the 9" and there a bunch of options for after-market brakes for the 8 and 9" rear and Mustangs.
Street or Track LLC has a bunch of options for any budget. The Mustang, Maverick, Granada, Falcon, Torino, Cougar, etc. etc. use a lot of common or interchangeable parts. I have 76 Granada front Spindles and a 78 Lincoln Versailles 9" rear with disc brakes on my 67 Mustang. Pretty much bolt-in stuff. The spindles and front brakes are reproduced and the Versailles rear end are still out there for a couple hundred bucks. Try Shaun at Street or Track he is very helpful.

this rear kit is $899

or these brackets will allow use of 94 - 04 Cobra brakes on the 8" rear

there are a lot of after-market rear suspension kits available for early Mustangs that can be made to fit the Maverick. Total Control, air ride just to name a few. (although those kits won't be cheap).
Like GrabberGT said, you can do a lot by going old school as well. I have ORP roller bearing parts on the front, lowered the UCA per the 65 Shelby R trick and added 5 leaf rear springs, sub-frame connectors, gas shocks, bigger antisway bars, poly bushings, etc. It may not out corner the best of the best but it is way better than original.
link to ORP, John at ORP is also a great guy and will even help you fab up the parts yourself!

I was referring to rear suspension not brakes but thanks for the info.
grabber gt modded a torque arm suspension from a maverick, he did alot of cuttings to narrow and reweldings...and i think redid a shock mount?

onlything air ride has that might for for the rear of mav is putting air over leafs.

This 4-link setup will not fit the Mav without hacking it and the car up first. The only thing bolt on would be the housing brackets. The trailing arms are even the wrong length.
