Question Tubular upper and lower A-arms MII front end
This fall and winter I would like to replace my stock Mustang II A-arms with tubular ones.

What parts and pieces, who from, would you recommend?

I have Aldan coilovers now on the front with 450#lb springs. This was the spring rate that was on the car when I got it. I've cranked the shocks down almost all the way to lower the frontend and it now handles 100% better than it had---but it is extremely stiff and sometimes jarring on bad roads, so I think the spring rate is too high?

Right now my suspension is in good shape ball joints, steering rack, etc, are near new, less than 1500 miles on them.


So what would your recommendations be re: tubular a-arms, and front shock springs?
