    Shocks

    We introduced the new VariShock SS shock a few months ago. People really like them. They're about the same price as you would pay for a pair of Konis but are made int he USA, lighter weight, and were tested and tuned ON muscle cars FOR muscle cars. Here's the thread I posted with details...

    Wilwood Superlite 13" Kit Installation Video from AutoEdit. Yeah Buddy!

    Jason Lewis of AutoEdit has been hard at work on a 73 Mustang project. He bought it as a stock...pretty much clunker...and has been working diligently to transform it to an all-around Pro-Touring machine. The first step was yanking the tired small block, then he added TCP front suspension...

    Total Control & Street or Track & Global West Strut Rod & Lower Control Arms

    NVH (Noise, Vibration, Harshness) are usually lumped together but Harshness really should be separated from the first two. N&V are measurable, whereas harshness is largely subjective. It's also the one that is most easily modified. Something as simple as adjusting shock valving by turning...

    Steering Components Recommendations for a 73

    We plan to, it just hasn't made it to the top of the project list, yet. It will be built completely in-house just like the one for the earlier cars. Frankly, we haven't had much request for them which is why they haven't made it higher up the list yet. The thing is that the 71-73 gets less...

    Steering Components Recommendations for a 73

    Right, there is not currently a TCP rack package specific to the 71-73; this is why I suggested doing a custom installation if the box doesn't work out. This 71 has the TCP rack which was custom installed.

    Steering Components Recommendations for a 73

    Since I'm spending your money, and not mine, I would upgrade the box. Then do a custom rack TCP rack install and compare the two. :D On the earlier cars the feedback on the TCP rack conversion is overwhelmingly positive. The 71-73 is on the list of stuff to make but it hasn't made it to the...

    Driving without shock tower braces

    The tower braces are an important part of the structure. Driving around the block probably feels the same. once you hit some bumps, go around a corner hard, or hit some train tracks it won't feel so great. Also, it could potentially damage the structure. By modern standards, all the older cars...

    New Product: VariShock SS OEM-Mount Shocks

    Thanks for helping make these such a success right away. We only have a couple sets of front and rear shocks left on the shelf right now for the 71-73. We have already sold out of several applications and have more on build. If you ordered a pair that we ran out of, thanks for being patient!

    Sub-Frame Connectors

    The box tube generally fits tighter and they blend in better. This is on our 71-73 to-do list, but it's not up to the top yet.

    Here's the video of the Rear Coil Over Kit Install from TCP into my 1973 Coupe

    Jason DID install the front coilover system. Here's the video! We don't currently offer a rack kit specific to the 71-73 Mustangs. That being said, we have had several customers retrofit the kit from the 70 with great success. It's on our list of cool parts to make, but it's not at the top...

    Photos of the TCP g-Link 4 Bar Rear Suspension in a 73 Coupe

    Did someone say they wanted to watch an awesome install video? I happen to have one right here! It even has a goofy host with clever catch phrases like "Howdy!" and "Yeah Buddy!" Great job, Jason!

    67-73 Bolt on coilover TCP

    No problem, Eric! You can order through your favorite Mustang parts supplier, all the big name guys at least, or you can call us directly. My direct extension is 247 but any of us would be happy to help. The stock spring suspension, in my experience at least, is always a crap shoot when it...

    67-73 Bolt on coilover TCP

    We don't use the factory style lower ball joint. We use a stronger Chrysler style instead. One of the major benefits to mounting the shock base on the lower control is the improved motion ratio. There is less mechanical advantage so you can run one full rate softer than the top mount...

    Del-a-lum bushings

    It's definitely going to increase the noise inside the car, but it will also help the rear end stay located under lateral load.

    Lower control arm struts

    Adjust them so that the lower control arm is perpendicular, at 90 degrees, to the frame rail. That's your baseline.
