stangman69 17 Report post Posted January 14, 2016 FS - Parts will fit any 67 - 70 Mustang (coupe, convert., fastback)--Upper and lower control arms--Negative wedge kit (provides more negative wedge = MUCH better tire contact to road during cornering)--Upper control arm lowering kit (lower controls arms for better angles)--Strut rods with bushings--Spring perches - may need new bushingsParts are new, installed then removed - no miles at all.Buy this setup and one of the pairs of coil springs I also have listed and you're ready to replace the entire front suspension setup on your 67-70 Mustang and make it a serious driver's car in an easy Saturday of work.I have a straight Monte Carlo bar as well - ties the front shock towers together to stiffen the front end. See also my listing for two pairs of coil springs (aftermarket - both pairs progressive rate). Springs and Monte Carlo bar available separately although I could do a package deal for the whole lot.Also listed in the Raleigh, NC Craiglist...

sixt9stang 36 Report post Posted February 28, 2016 Prices? Willing to ship? What did you go with instead? Is the negative wedge kit recommended if you do the Shelby drop? Sorry for all the questions? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stangman69 17 Report post Posted February 29, 2016 Sixt9' - I would be willing to ship. I'd guess it'd be $50 or so. I'll have to box it up and take it to the shipping place and get a quote for you. Can you give me an address and zip? PM it to me maybe? The negative wedge kits does work fine with the Shelby drop. This kit includes a drop template for each side to guide your new drilled control arm mounting holes and three bolt machined aluminum wedges that relocate and change the ball joint angle as it bolts to the upper control arm. This change in angle combined with the Shelby style drop gives you dramatically increased negative wedge so when you take a turn, the tire doesn't roll outward at the top and unload the bottom edge (reducing traction). Your tire stays even or slightly top in when taking a turn increasing traction surface. Add in the benefit of lowering your center of gravity and if you go with a slightly stiffer spring (got a set to sell) and you're talking about a serious improvement in handling even if you change nothing else. I had a Flaming River steering box with a faster ratio, the negative wedge kit and a bump steer correcting kit, an MC bar and one piece export brace and did the Shelby drop on the stiffer springs. My plan was to rock this combo. I was given a bit of money for Christmas one year and ended up springing for a full tubular coil over front suspension setup. Cost was around $1200+ as I recall. You could take my kit, add a fast ratio steering box like the Flaming River unit, add a set of rollerized spring perches al la Opentracker, boxing plates to all four control arms and if you wanted to go full bore, roller bearings to the control arms as well and you'd have a solid, stock based front suspension that would provide a great handling smooth ride and would look stock. I've heard this kind of setup is legal for stock class racing as well. This is the direction I was going until I got the Christmas cash gift.

sixt9stang 36 Report post Posted March 1, 2016 Thanks for all the info! Specifically I was basically wondering about the templates and the negative wedge kit. Just haven't seen a lot of people state that they do the negative wedge kit when doing the Shelby drop. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RPM 1,190 Report post Posted March 2, 2016 Word on the street is if you do the Shelby drop more than 1" or with a lowered car it puts the upper ball joint in a bind at full compression. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rangerdoc 22 Report post Posted March 2, 2016 I had this exact setup on my car for 20 years prior to going to coilovers. I loved it, highly recommend. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
