Anyone have this TCP rear end suspension?

Has anyone fitted this to their 65 or 66? A long-term aim of mine is to import this to the UK and fit it to my '66 fastback becuase a) it'll be a MASSIVE improvement over the original system and b) it looks superb and c) there are aren't any cars in the UK with them fitted so it'll be a nice project to do.

I realise that for normal street driving it'll be way over the top but what the hell!

Anyone tell me HOW much better it is - what the limitations are and any other pros and cons?

Thanks

I think its over priced but thats just me, my friend just got a nice rear set up from Martz for much much less. http://www.martzchassis.net/mustangrearinstall

Cheers Staff, that's one I hadn't seen before - and a lot cheaper ...

That's the troube with being in the UK - a lot of these things pass you by - not having good access to the Mustang magazines etc., it's sometimes difficult keeping up with that's out and what's not.

Any other variations on a theme?

Well here is another setup that might interest you.

Also the Martz rear suspension does require a bit of cutting into your trunks floor.

I have one on my 70 Mustang. I put it on after I took of the GW leafs and watts system which was a good system to begin with. I like it better than what it had before and it articulates the road better than before. Not a major improvement but definitely noticeable. My version is the older version no longer being sold by TCP. They are in the process of revising it.

Just finished the install. It's an incredible system and a major improvement. The car turns much easier and does not have the tendency toward over steer. Made a wheel hop problem I had disappear! This is the new version!

You guys never cease to amaze me! Some great looking cars ... with some incredible modifications. Jag IRS ... who would have thought it - William Lyons would be turning in his grave ...

I think I'm going to have to get one of these even though the import duty and tax to the UK adds another 20% or so ... I can get it shipped for about $350 to my door which is good.

Thanks again guys, for the advice.
