front suspension upgrades

hobgoblin351 · 02-21-2004, 08:19 AM

Just like you're opinion on upgrading my 70 conv. I like the ease of the bolt in stuff. But can you get the performance you're looking for. Total Control's parts are well made but, it looks like they're just beefing up the old design. Yeah they change a few angles and move the ball joint a little, But is that enough? Has anyone worked with Fat Man Fabrication's (WWW.Fatmanfab.com) upgrade kit. It looks like they are using struts up front. But I can't tell from the pics and haven't read a review on it yet. Or should I just go with a Mustang II front end. I know thats alot of work, but is it worth it? Some people have told me because of the unibody construction it's not the best way to go. Any advice would be greatly appriciated. Thanks

You should take a look at Griggs Racing GR-350 setup if you haven't already.
