So, I got the 69 to drive and enjoy NOT to be a trailer queen. That being said, the suspension is just worn out and in need of overhaul. I want to bring her up to modern handling standards and was looking at Total Control Products "coil over upgrade kit". Looks to be a well engineered kit and wanted to know if anyone has actual experience with their products? I'm looking to start with the front first and eventually finish the whole suspension. Any others that I should be looking at as well would be greatly appreciated! Thanks.

 

Ive been lurking for options for quite a while, still think I like RRS setup a lot...I really dont love mcpherson struts, BUT putting the coil spring pushing on the balljoint center instead of halfway out the control arm cuts the pressure in half on the shock tower- with a bigblock going in, thats a fair compromise to me- plus RRS seems to have done their homework with correcting geometry as much as possible...

check out some of their video sales pitches, worth considering I think...

they also have a shock tower notching 'kit' that gives a whopping 7" extra per side if you lose that upper control arm...click on the shock tower notching video: http://rrs-online.com/videopage2.php

Hi, I have done the coil over on my 64 and if your going to do that and you want the real feel is to do a 2" king pin drop. It brings you up to date whit the coil overs. I think the coils I have are from Morris or something like that I'm not where I can check at the moment. They are adjustable in hight and ride stile
