Has anyones used this kit yet, if so what are your thoughts on it?? http://www.fatmanfabrications.co/products/1965-1973-ford-maverick-strut-ifs-conversion-kit/
This is obviously a Mustang kit as evidenced by the model years cited. They just exchanged the word "Maverick" for "Mustang".
Price seams high for what you get. Look into the Rod & Custom RC-107 kit. several members have installed them and love them. I'm planing on installing the RC MII this winter
I agree with the above posts. I was actually looking at that kit earlier today and it's definitely not worth it. What you get there is not an "IFS conversion kit" either-- our cars are already Independent Front Suspension. That kit converts the stock suspension system to a MacPherson strut, which is much better for handling than stock but still isn't as good as the geometry of the R&C kit mentioned above. The auto manufacturers use the MacPherson strut because it offers decent performance and is cheap to manufacture-- and as you can see it's not cheap to convert, so might as well spend a little extra on the far superior double wishbone R&C setup. Plus Fatman makes you supply the struts, rack, spindles, and brakes, unless you pay them an extra $1600.
Bad thing g about the macferson setups are the tires don't sit flat in turns and not that easy to fix The MII kit has problems too Mainly due to the control arms being too small for most cars they're put into.. Along with the control arm mount ING location.. M2 Isn't the greatest for geometry standpoint either but it will work well.. My suggestion is if you're keeping a small block or even a 351 in the mav..keep the stock suspension and upgrade to aftermarket like TCP or global west along with chassis stiffening component's If you plan to use a mod motor or coyote save up for an AME clip or chassis works clip...this is assuming you want more of a pro tour car. If you just want a street strip car ...again stock. Or m2 if you go big block or mod/coyote
For a little more, you get a lot more with a Rod and Custom RC-106 kit (which I have installed). Coilover setup is just a little more than that. And you get everything but the steering wheel and tires. http://rcmotorsportsinc.com/rc-106-complete-conventional-coil-spring-conversion/
