:=:=I am going to get 90/10 for the front and 50/50 for the back(70 Mav.) What year Mustang will I need to order them for?
:=
:=****************************************************************
:=
:=Summit offers Pt # SUM-G7603 for the front. Lists 1965-70 Mustang and 1969-77 Maverick. They are 3-way adjustable. I have them on my car along w/ 6 cylinder springs from a 1965 Mustang and the car transfers really well.
:=
:=As for the back, I do not see a listing. You can call Summit and find out. I just used the cheapo Napa replacement shocks and generic Lakewood traction bars when my car had leaf springs.
:=
:=The whole combination worked really well. With a naturally aspirated 302, the car would cut consistent 1.56-1.58 60' times (pulling the fron tires about 8" off the ground). Kind of wish I still had the leafs on the back as it made the car easier to drive on the street (although driving around with the ladder bars is not too terribly bad).


Hey Fred, just wondering what rear gear and trans you are running. Those no's are impressive, also would like to know the spring rate you use on the coil overs. If at all possible, could you email me a picture of your ladder bar set up. We run very similiar set up except for leaf springs. Would like to upgrade to what you have. Thanks a million for any help you can give.

Sorry, no photos. I guess that is something I'll have to wotk on.

The car has a 9" with 4.86 gears and full spool. The trans is a C-4 with a reverse manual valve body w/ a turbo action 8" converter (4000 stall on the foot brake).

I believe the rear springs are 110 pounders.
