    Hey all, I’m brand new to this whole thing, I got a 71 Maverick and the R&C conventional crossmember for the Mustang ii suspension swap. Does anyone know if the tubular control arms they use are interchangeable with conventional ones?

    :Welcome:...:Handshake:

    you're heading down a rabbit hole trying to piece mill this setup together.
    I have their...RC107 kit...just changed it over to power steering.

    (y) That looks SO clean. Its definitely hard finding pieces at a price that’ll beat the kitin price, let alone quality. I might just have to fork over the cash. Does the crossmember change the ride height at all, or is it close to stock before you dial it in? Sorry for all the questions, just trying to get my head around it:slap:

    no...with the kit you can set the height like you want it. I have 1" drop spindles on mine.

    I see, i got the RC106, with conventional shocks, so theres some flexibility, but not nearly as much as coilovers.:huh: Still, I appreciate the help and look forward to being a part of the community, thanks! :bouncy:
