Best aftermarket rear suspension ?

[SHELBY69 61]

My Shelby runs great but the rear suspension makes nasty loud noises. Thinking of replacing entire rear suspension . Which one did you install and what do you like or dislike about it? Thanks

i found coil spring kit and composite leaf springs. I used composite leaf springs on a 1968 Vette & they rode much softer than stock. I might try those.

Depends on what you plan on doing.

if you just want to go with a refresher: upgrading shocks and spring/leafs.

Spring/Coil: Eaton Detroit Springs: https://www.eatondetroitspring.com/

Shocks: Bilstien Shocks

Tires: BFG, Cobra Coopers or any good summer tire.

also, upgrading the sway bar 1" or 1 1/8" should be good, replace all bushings/tierods/strut rods.

if you want to go further, i.e roller bearing spring perches and adjustable strut rods, start looking at https://opentrackerracing.com

if you want to go with performance and pro-touring: Coil-over setups

• Street Or Track Front and rear coil overs - I have their front coil overs and love them: https://streetortrack.com/
• Maier Racing or Mike Maier Inc (too expensive for my taste): https://mikemaierinc.com/ & https://www.maierracing.com/
• Total Control products: http://www.totalcontrolproducts.com/
• Global West Suspension: https://www.globalwest.net/

Im sure I am missing a few, but you have loads of options.

On a Shelby I'd just change the bushings and shocks.

Agreed

My first stage was front lowered EIBACH springs, shocks & fatter sway bars

rear EIBACH shocks & fat sway bar.

I also added AMERICAN RACING “Halibrands” wrapped in fat modern MICHELINS. She has front BAER brakes too.

I have race cars so I just want a comfortable cruiser.

inside I added Bluetooth, new speakers, NARDI steering wheel, and CORBEAU seats w custom upholstery and JEGS 4 point harness bcus the original upper harness is ridiculous to wear
