TCP G-Link vs Ridetech AirBar

[65-fastback]

I am looking for the TCP G-bar or link with the pivot ball type, But with another set of shocks? I need the SELECT coilover ones from ridetech, the new types with the electric button to select hard/soft setting. I also need them for the front. http://www.ridetech.com/store/64-66-...ct-series.html http://www.ridetech.com/store/1964-1966-ford-mustang-coilover-front-system-select.html The reason for me is that I like to keep the car a little bit street friendly and stiff on demand (highway, nice tarmac and track). I think that the air suspension will hurt the performance a bit. Right now I have Qa1 coils front and Qa1 shocks with 5 leaf springs rear. excellent steering manners, razor sharp, but want to get rid of the springs for a little more room. Does anyone has experience with these already? I have a 65 mustang fastback and use it on street, strip and autocross. it is caged, 700+ HP, manual, 335-30-18 rear tires + @ front a CCP susp. brace with tubular arms. what do you suggest as a spring rate? any other suggestions like a splined bar. I tried to contact Brett from Ridetech, and Chris from TCP, but no reaction so far. If you know or are a dealer who can help me, please let me know. Thanks!!

Email me direct and I can answer anything you need...or get you to someone who can. Thanks!

Out of curiosity...why do you think the air suspension would hurt the performance?

I'm not challenging your opinion...just examining the perception so I can explain the different systems.

Hi Bret,

I used the email function on this forum (click on the name and choose sent an email), so that might be the problem.

At first I was considering the air setup, but I couldn't find good info on performance. In my opinion, when you adjust the height, it will affect the handling. I also don not understand if the ride quality if different in the different heights. Will a low height be as stiff in handling as a high height? It seems that more pressure makes it stiffer, so a low ride is not performance plus on air i guess. And what about the pinion angle? it will change when adjusting the height i guess?

As for the coil overs, i see them on most road racing cars, plus they are less expensive and failure safer. (less parts that can fail).

Why I prefer the G-Link, the possibilities of adjusting and the points the shocks are mount looking stronger and might clear the exhaust (3" )

The email is on its way!!
