Ride Tech coil over front suspension
« on: February 11, 2016, 07:14:13 PM »
hey fe members i just received my front suspension , and the quality is awesome and looking forward the installation .  And i know it s not related to fe engines , but it s going in a 69 mach with an fe .. Im going for a pro touring , auto cross restomod and want it to handle , and brake very well and my thoughts are that sense an fe with aluminum heads , aluminum manifold , aluminum water pump , ect weighs what a small block does so i want to make it handle and stop very well .. the 428 and tremec with 3.89 s will make make it fun to drive on a course .. what you guy s think ..

you can use stock spindles and brakes , or use 70-73 drum spindle and a mustang steve braket set and 01-02 bullitt , 03-04 cobra brake calipers and 13 inch rotors . I will use 13 inch brakes up front and 11 inch disc in the rear , and the coil overs are H Q series " handling quality " up front , and i will also run a unisteer power rack , late 67-70 big block fits for fe apps with fpa headers and standard trans friendly ..

Looks like really nice stuff.  Are the shocks non-adjustable, single adjustable, or double adjustable?

Do they still offer their electronically adjustable Select-Tech coilovers?  I remember when they came out, but then don't see much on them anymore.
