latoracing 256 Report post Posted December 31, 2012 Welcome to the site jonwen. There are several companies offering rear suspension set-ups for classic Mustangs, trust me, I've looked. Price and quality does come into play, just like anything else. Some that I've considered doing business with are Ride Tech, TCP, Griggs, and the one I ordered the complete front and rear set up from is Street or Track. I wanted to have a single supplyer on my suspension, and I didn't want to mis match coil-overs, or have to engineer my own set up. The coil over will dictate how much suspension travel you will have, there agean, it can vary between 3.5" to 5.5" (or more) depending on supplyer and application. Some people will swear by their leaf spring set ups, if that is what they like, me, I wanted to have the suspension to not bind, or use a component to do more than one "task" (ie. keeping the housing centered, and supporting the car,...) at a time. Plus, my car is getting a wider inner wheel well, and re-locating the leaf springs would not work to well. Search around, there are + / - to everything, find what you like, and can afford, it is not exactly cheep. Good luck Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fvike 173 Report post Posted December 31, 2012 The Street or Track 3-link looks very good IMO. You get a lateral location device (watts link), decent shock travel, and quality shocks (Bilstein)! Personally I have the TCP Rear Pushrod Suspension System (RPSS), which is basicly a 3-link/w watts link too, but it is a stiff ride. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rangerdoc 22 Report post Posted December 31, 2012 Have any of you found a quality setup that allows for the exhaust to go out the rear? I like the streetortrack setup (I have their front) but I don't want a side exhaust. I also don't know how to weld or own any welding equipment, so I need something that will bolt in. Sorry for the hijack! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

farmerjoe 10 Report post Posted December 31, 2012 i installed the ridetech kit front and rear on my 69 and i love it. it requires the welding of 4 tabs for the upper arms which will be the last thing done after everything else is bolted up and centered. i think the ridetech rear kit is about the same as tcp. rod and custom out of florence sc has a complete bolt on kit for about the same price. i went through motorstate and got the front and rear ridetech kit for 3100. every piece of the suspension on the car was replaced. the best money i have put in the car by far.

jonwen 10 Report post Posted December 31, 2012 did you install coil overs on the ridetech or use the air bags and how is the ride is it firm or soft or can you adjust that thanks for everybodys input it realy helps to decide what to use Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
farmerjoe 10 Report post Posted January 1, 2013 i went with the non adjustable coilovers, they are not firm or soft somewhere in the middle maybe a little more towards firm side. they have adjustable shocks but i am pleased with the non adjustable Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
