    Hello there,

    I was just wondering if anybody had read anything into "Global West Suspension"...

    We are currently using their IFS system and rear leafs in the "Z/28 Nova"(see ___(insert month) of last years "HotRod" or purevisiondesign.com) and the stuff is really nice. I decided to check out there site, and they have stuff listed there for Maverick/Comet. I will probably be using this stuff in my car, because I wll get a great discount on it due to where I work...

    Here is the website...

    Gunslinger?

    It seems like he is using some trick parts on his track car, maybe Global stuff?

    Global West makes some really nice stuff. We have used it on several Mustangs with good results. (Okay, very good results.)

    But at $900 for a pair of upper and lower control arms, or $2500 for the coil over strut kit, you had better have money to burn or be very serious about racing. :cool:

    Total Control Products has a good looking setup... I don't know if you're looking for a comparitive product or not, but the coil over option would be nice.

    I wasn't really looking for a comparitive product, just wasn't sure if you guys had heard of them (which it appears you have)... I think I will be using the stuff because I will be getting a large discount on the stuff because of work...
