happy with my TCI IFS
Well, I finished a TCI on my 65 fastback a few months ago and I love it! Handles great (coilovers) and the brakes are awesome. It sits really low, so the coil-overs need to be adjusted several inches up from the bottom. Better done off the car. I asked about some non-dropped spindles but they only have one choice and they told me they weren't dropped. The install was pretty easy because of all the hard points on the original frame rails. More welding than the R&C set-up but a lot more support on the frame rails. I think it rides better than my R&C but it has springs, not coil-overs. No negative on the R&C, I love it but would use coil-overs if I had it to do over.
The TCI parts are high end pieces, particularly the trick sway bar. Support from TCI was great and they provided detailed pictures to take you through the install. I did have a problem with the motor mounts. I liked the fact that the crossmember was available with mounts already mounted. I (thought I) ordered small block mounts. I started with a 98 4V Cobra motor and figured I could adapt to those mounts and have a small block fallback. Not much room but I connected the 4V, got it running and found it had more problems than I could fix easily. Yanked it and put in a 392, which is awesome, but the mounts didn't fit. More fabrication. My problem, because they didn't have 4V mounts at the time and I probably got things confused- just make sure you get the right mounts.
When I had the 4V in, I didn't have room for a power booster, so I used a 1" dual master cylinder with an adjustible proportioning valve. Still have drums on the rear. Pedal feel is great and it stops! I'm amazed how light the pedal is. Those big red calipers look great, too!
Bottom line, the TCI front end is great and if I ever do another one, it will be TCI. I also got the rear end kit. Haven't put it on yet. Problem is that the car handles so well now, I will probably just sell it. I always make the mistake of hitting the road before I'm finished and like it tooo much to take the car off the street again.
