Coilovers! QA1 Front Suspension....What fits and how? The answers!

[geezer101]

I looked at the entire Mustang II coil over strut and thought it would work - I was close. I would not attempt mounting the bottom shock mount to the underside of the control arm as the load will be on the bolts and not the control arm. This will be a quantum leap forward for your truck and maybe the ride height will be acceptable once it's all back together and on the ground. Nice work!

Geezer- Yeah you were close if you were going that route. I agree with the shock from the bottom being a terrible idea. I have considered boxing the control arm at the bottom and mounting the shock there, which would move it down a decent bit. I will post pics once the drop spindles arrive. The Mustang II springs that I used can be found here: http://www.qa1.net/suspension/spring...system-springs
they are all 8" length, I went with the 375# ones. Lower ID is 2.5", upper ID is 3.5" thanks!

Rymar- thanks a lot! ill be sure to update this thread once I have it on the ground and everything sorted out as well as any part numbers that may change and help you guys out.

EL.95MAX- yup those prices are correct. Not bad in comparison to most coil over options for Japanese cars, but a little more than struts/springs
