I got tired of the low quality control arms available and made my own heavy duty coil over version!

Cheers!

What did you do for the upper mounts?

If you are referring to the coilover it is a retrofit coilover from qa1 for a mustang II type front end. They are the same dimensions as the original Fiat type shock roughly and they use the original spring bucket and upper shock mount. The upper control arm is stock. The lower one is custom fabricated by me.

Thanks!

Hi Rob,

Nicely done!

Does this allow for choices in spring rates and damping?

I am always envious of guys who play with American Cars and can order ANYTHING from multiple performance sites.

Cheers,

Jordan

The guys at the cruises who extensively modify their American cars are really talented and do some amazing things, but we don't often see this boil over into these little gems. Well done.

Yes, qa1 has different spring rates and the shock has a dial at the bottom with 12 different damping settings..For the record lots of aftermarket parts cross over.. but learning how to fabricate parts really opens the possibilities fellas..it can be done.. appreciate the kudos fellas.
