Anyone upgrade their front Struts and Brakes to Mustang Brakes/Struts/Coilovers?*PICS
 
79-93 4 cyl Mustang Struts with $139 Coilover Conversion Kit, Brakes and Spindles. Use a 8 cyl if you want large brakes. If you want floating rotors, use 94 and up.

Machine a plate to weld on the stang spindle so you can use the factory ball joint and steering.

Just curious as to how it will work with such a angle on the strut? Especially in reverse?

I can't answer that.

But it's in a 1,300 HP, 7 second 1st Gen. So, it can't be all that bad :hahaha:

interesting. ive seen datsun Z conversions, its kind of pointless now, REspeed makes a big brake kit for the stock struts, but the z was decent brake and 5 lug in the early 80's

Is that a mustang rack and pinion also?

This may be ok for the strip but front end geometry is a must to have a safe street car. :-)
