Note: All components are shipped powder coated black. The red in the pictures below are on a show car.

  • Tubular upper control armswpe8.jpg (15522 bytes)

  • Tubular lower control arms

  • Adjustable strut rods

  • Billet aluminum tower shock mounts

  • Steel lower shock mounts

  • QA-1 or Afco performance shocks (available non-adjustable , single adjustable, or double adjustable)

  • Eibach Racing Springs

  • Helper springs (not shown)

  • Helper spring spacers (not shown)

  • Thrust bearing kit under the springs for easier adjusting

  • New hardware.

Did you know that Mustang suspension from 1964 though 1973 have 7 inches of overall travel. Our coilover kit  maintains 7 inches of travel and is designed to be in the middle of travel at a 1 inch drop. This allows for plenty of ride height adjustment. Note: A new upper mount is now used that increases the suspension travel to 9 full inches. (not shown)

The line drawing shows a wheel rate change from conventional suspension to coilover. Notice the ratio change between a stock suspension to coilover. The .84 from .52 allows you to use a softer spring while maintaining a desired wheel rate. The new coilover shock location also provides improved damping allowing fine adjustments to the shock controlling wheel movement.

 

Coilover Particulars
  • Global West offers 2 different coilover suspension systems. The first is used for drag racing and street applications. The second system is a Negative roll system. Negative roll is used for road racing and performance street  handing.
  • Global West coilover kits maintain factory suspension loads in the shock tower, from the bottom up.
  • No cutting of the shock tower is required.
  • Installation requires drilling a total of 6 holes for the drag / street version and 10 holes for negative roll / road racing system. Drill templates included.
  • Upper and lower control arms are fully assembled. Top of the line Del-a-lum bushings are used in the upper arms and spherical Teflon lined bearings are used in the lowers. Threaded ball joints are used top and bottom.
  • Adjustable strut rods make caster adjustment simple. Our strut rods have a special clevis that indexes in the frame making it impossible for improper installation.
  • Eccentric locout kits eliminate the lower cam bolts. The cam bolts can slip during hard cornering altering your alignment. Our new locout kits offer 6 adjustments for camber rather then one.
  • Stock brakes whether drum or disc can be used. Racing brakes are also not a problem. Notice our category 5 disc brake system.
  • Coilover shocks are available three different ways non-adjustable, single adjustable, and double adjustable.
  • Adjustable ride height is a given. Note: Lowering the ride height 1 inch places the shock in the middle of its travel.
  • Billet aluminum upper mounts are standard.
  • Special steel lower mounts install on the lower arm to maximize spring and shock performance.
  • Needle bearing kits are standard with our coilover kits. Needle bearings go between the lower adjuster and the spring. Needle bearings to reduce drag when adjusting ride height.
  • Hardware is included along with instructions and alignment specifications.
