Heidts Automotive Builds A Fully Independent Suspended 1968 Mustang G.T. 350 Clone Using Their Pro-G IFS And IRS Bolt-in Suspensions.
THE MUSTANG’S FRONT AND REAR SUSPENSIONS WERE DESIGNED IN THE EARLY 60'S, based on similar designs from a decade earlier. They worked just fine—back then. The car had crappy biasply tires and lack of a really good-handling domestic car to compare it to, but that was a long time ago. By today’s standards, early Mustang suspension is, shall we say, a joke. So much has been learned in terms of suspension design and geometry during the half-century since the first Mustang rolled off the assembly line. Unless you’re doing a concours-level restoration, or for some other reason don’t want to cut on the car, there’s no reason not to convert the suspension to more modern, robust, and far-better-performing designs from the aftermarket.
