    front suspension
    « on: October 18, 2004 - 10:52:41 PM »
    ok I have been looking around a little more and found another place.

    http://www.autoweldchassis.com/frames.ivnu

    on their front suspension kit you use mustang ll spindles
    does this mean i have to buy mustang front disk brakes?
    That means the lug pattern will be diiff. form the rear?

    can someone talk me through this

    is this car street driven ???
    mustang II stuff works for racing  fairly light for street use , You can get 10" rotors with 5 hole Mopar bolt pattern , stock mustang is 4 bolt

    For street use I would use the firm feel quick ratio box , to go to pinion there has not been a goood system developed yet  most do not have correct ackerman to work with the steering in front also no good spindle has been built for front steer most eliminate the T bars which thee frame is not built to take , what I would like to see is a tubular K frame that uses the T bars & stock lower control arms  with a properly made spindle for front steer & using tubular uppers
     I guess I have to build it myself

    that kit requires changing the fron tsib frame out to use the componenents , are you looking at doing that or do you just want a bolt in replacment light K frame ?

    Hey LM440, check out the pictures that OneBadHemi has on the e-body pictures, he has a 70 Challenger with the Alterkation front end in it, you should get with him and check it out!
    Here is a picture of the Alterkation, you probably already have seen this but here it is again, along with the good ole reliable!

    Hey Gichy, I don't know which one you are talking about but the original K frame setup is mine after I got it finished. It was a bugger to cut out on photosuite, you can still see smudges and not a very clean job on the cut out. Anyway, thanks either way!  ;D
