It is real easy to purchase non-compatible parts concerning suspension components when there are so many suppliers. Suspension components must work together in order for the car to be balanced. We have put together five packages for 1964-70 Mustangs starting with the basic setup to road racing. Each package is an upgrade over the prior allowing you to choose what's right for you.

STAGE 1 MUSTANG SUSPENSION 1964-66

Stage One addresses Mustang front suspension geometry issues.  It is considered a beginning level street application for performance minded enthusiasts. The following list of components is required for this category. This stage improves handling, tire wear, and overall vehicle response.

• MNR-46 --- Negative Roll System (Tubular upper control arms change geometry creating negative camber gain during cornering. Negative camber increases cornering ability and reduces outside tire wear by keeping the tire flat on the pavement).
• S-23 front spring (S-23 is recommended for street applications with small block engines). Ride height will be lower about 1 inch.
• Strut Rod bushings part # SRB-4 can be used with stock strut rods. These bushings are made of rubber and have a higher diameter then stock.  DO NOT USE POLY IN THIS LOCATION.
• Front sway bar used with S-23 is SB 549.
• Front Shocks Koni 82-1388 SP3.

• Monte Carlo Bar ---Two types 1^st Part # TS-6: TS-6 is straight commonly used with stock distributors.
  2^nd Part # TS-8: TS-8 has a bend directly over the distributor that allows clearance for tall aftermarket distributors.

• Use Koni rear shocks part # 82-1389. Koni shocks are recommended for this application. Note: If you are upgrading to the next stage, Cure Ride shocks would be a better choice.

The vehicles ride is similar to a European sports car and has superb handling. The following list of components are required for this package.

• MNR-46 --- Negative Roll System (Tubular upper control arms change geometry creating negative camber gain during cornering. Negative camber increases cornering ability and reduces outside tire wear by keeping the tire flat on the pavement).
