In my build plan post, I got a lot of negative feedback regarding the Rod and Custom front coil over conversion I was planning. I am open to change but I need other ideas. Here is the situation with the car. The bottom plate of the front crossmember is showing rust damage. I have a replacement OEM crossmember than I obtained years ago but just never installed.
The question is which way to go. Do I install a replacement OEM crossmember or do I install a new aftermarket crossmember with rack and pinion steering and get rid of the shock towers to open up the engine bay for better access to everything.
If I go back with the OEM crossmember, then I assume the recommendation would be to go to stronger tubular control arms and front strut such as the stuff Global West and Street or Track sells.
If I go with an aftermarket crossmember with suspension and brakes already installed, then which brand. I saw a lot of good reviews about Rod and Custom on other mustang forums but if there is something better out there, please point me to it.
Thanks
