Front Suspension

The front suspension of the mustang is going to be completely custom. The first component is Global West tubular upper control arms. These have a negative wedge already built in, which lets you lower the arms like Shelby did in the 60's. I lowered my arms a full 1-3/4". I welded the factory holes up during engine compartment metal work. This makes the installation look very clean. I have also used QA1 coilover shocks and spring in the front. Custom outer shock tower braces were built to show off the new suspension. They were finished with a rally silver powder coat finish. This makes the front suspension completely adjustable. The lower control arms are a stock arm that has had the Open Tracker spherical bearings installed to replace factory bushings, and boxed with sheetmetal. The sway bar is a full 1-1/8" diameter. The combination of these components is going to make the mustang handle like a moden race car. You can see in the pictures that the lowers were powder coated after completion and look very nice. The spindle was also powder coated. This just makes for a very durable build.
