really its stock! anyways everythings done.. well for now ;)

hey Maverick Man

just wondering how much did it cost you to put in the new rotors and stuff?

and what tips would you recomend i'm gonna have to do this also

 

Derrick, well done! Nice!!!

 

here you go see below

i probably am not the best person to give you a cost because the spindles and caliper brackets were free from my friend (they were 77 Granada Spindles) as well as some other stuff and at some discounts… but you’ll get the picture.

power coating was $60 bucks +tax for both sides and got them done though Embee Performance. www.embeeperformance.com that was a bro deal though someone I knew.. I think other wise they would have been 60 each side.

the coils were old ones i had laying around that were TMC 600lbs. You can get TMC from Mustangs Unlimited (fyi worst customer service.. down right rude!) for $65. You can also get them new from Mustangs Plus 1-800-99-4289 (IMO have the best prices out of any mustang house) they are $69 for the pair they are not TMC but Grab A Trak 620lbs part#515. you can get progressives part number #10134 for about 3 times as much but to me if your not lowering it that much no need.

the rotors were $100 bucks from e-bay you always see from pro rotors... he’s local to us so i just picked them up saved on shipping and was $10 bucks less form e-bay. They are the same brand as the ones you can get from kragen but are about $60 bucks cheaper!

wheel bearings part #LM12749 and #L68149 and Wheel Seals part #19221 for the rotors I got from NAPA Auto Parts. I also got the in and outer tie rods form them too. Part #269-2320 $48.82 each (use your AAA Club if you have one) and Part #269-2331 $22.97 each. please note inner ones will vary from post to pre 75 cars.. the center link is different. I should also have a part number from energy suspensions for a poly bushing for pre 75 cars for the center link / idler arm very soon. I sent them one and they should be getting back with me. lastly the brake lines are part number 4136649 made by TruStop.

i picked up the rest of the stuff again from Mustangs Plus www.mustangsplus.com part #8503 (Upper, Lower Control arms spring perches (upgraded to poly for 29.95), Poly Coil Spring Insulators, Poly Strut Rod Bushing , Poly end links and Poly Sway Bar Bushings) from Mustangs Plus for $299.99. actually they are still on sale now from the normal $329.95. I returned the lowers because they had the ball joint pressed in. and they gave me a credit of $59.95 each. if you want to buy the Coil Spring Insulators by themselfs they are made by prothane part #6497. also note that if you do use the upper control arms from a mustang they bolts will be a bit shorter so you will need to use a thiner washer after the shocktower before the nut.

instead i got the lower arms (i think about $56 - $58 bucks.. sorry can’t find the receipt for part# or right price) from California Mustang.. NOTE: they were the only one i could find that didn't have pressed in ball joints with two tack welds. if you ask me that kind is just dangerous! but yeah all 4 large parts.. pep boys, napa, kragen and auto zone stores were pressed. remember the mustang ones have a smaller bushing then the stock maverick so you can use a energy syspension poly bushing part #4.3102G that will work

KYB Shocks and Sway Bar was from summit racing. KYBs were $29.95 or though Mustangs Plus for $34.95 (ask them for 10% off if your getting the full suspension kit = $31.46 each shock and save you shipping form summit if your getting everything at one time). ADDCO sway bar part #ACC-835G was $149.88 at Summit (JC Whitney use to have them and they were. $79 back in the day but I have not seem them anymore.)

Pads part #0-30999-09106-2 $18.99 and Remanufactured Calipers part #7-77962-60082-0 $14.99 each were from Pep Boys.

i got lower control arm poly bushing from Energy Suspensions cuz i know someone there so they were free. i’ll get you guys part numbers later the box is at work. however these you can get from summit for like $19.95 get them for a 67-70 mustang. it’s not going to be fun pulling out the stock rubber ones either. Also when the polys go in they will be a bit too long so you will have to shave them down.

another way to do this would be to this and save some money is to just reuse your upper and lower control arms and just buy a rebuild kit.

sorry wrote this kinda fast hope this helps.... i think that’s about it.. if i forgot anything i’ll ad it to this post and maybe on my web page later.

 

thank you very much
now i just have to sell the cheby to get $$$

 

Derek,


I love your taste in mods.

 

just updated past post with all the other part numbers i could find... hope this helps


missed this one....

not really... to be honest i don't think it rides loud at all... infact the stock suspention was louder with all the squeaking... anyways i've learned to avoid pot holes and drive in areas that i know are bad. i guess from driving lowered cars at work (and i mean slamed) that can barely make it up driveways. i know some guys here are reading this going putting these bushings in are stupid and it going to ruin the ride. but personally i like my cars to handle nice not lean like UHaul Truck... with low profile tires you'll get a bit harsh but thats expected from a low profile tire. beside you can always run 195 70s on it and ride cushie

i think i need to give someone a ride in this thing so people can feel the ride.
