CPP Sub-Frame Kit

Agree if staying basically around the stock design he has some good gear. I am running some of his gear in my mustang. He can also cater for some more out there options as well.

What have you got, I'm looking at getting soon?

I did not want to leave the basic factory set up unless I did it big time (such as using the DS set up I indicated above). So I am running his 5 leaf rear springs, rear sway bar. Matching front springs. I did not want to go with tubular arms simply because of the engineer report that would be required. I did do the Shelby drop (using Kerry's suggested extra change to increase dynamic caster). If I did it again I would move the top arm back 1/4 inch instead of the 1/8th for extra base static caster.

I see the DS setup has +8 caster, that's one reason it would be stable, did you end up modifying the strut bars Boof so you could wind some caster in there?

Just got a quote for the CPP kit - very, very reasonable!

The Detroit speed is also awesome, but way above my budget. If I was slinging that kinda cash if just buy a Schwartz chassis. Only $8000 for a rolling chassis.

Indeed - they have been modified. Kerry help me out with the machining/rolling the threads. When it is rolling again then I workout what is happening with the alignment. As we discussed the other day I am interested in a DIY proposition.

Interesting option. Yes the DS set up is pricy - having said that it has the best curves I have seen (assuming what is published is correct - I have no reason to not believe it is so). Also the engineering involved is excellent. A lot of the Mustang II setups worry me a lot in terms of the mounting of top arms appear weak to me and no dynamic caster built in. Any way, lots of options for all budget levels.

We can go 1/2s if you want.

Interesting idea. I will do more research and we can talk about it.
