Front suspension?? What would you do?? LONG

[nonosstang]

I was looking for some opinion about front suspension for my '66 fastback. I am stuck between the TCP front coilover or the Griggs GR-350 front.

Currently, my car is at Griggs getting the rear GR-350 setup installed along with a Currie 9" w/ detroit, 3.89's, and forged axles. The rear will be running 335/30ZR18's.

Obviously, that leaves me . . . broke!! But, at this point I am considering front end options. One side of me wants to go with the TCP setup because it's cheaper and I can easily install it myself on a weekend (so I can finally get the car back together and drive it!). The other side wants the Griggs setup so the suspension is all the same. The Griggs suspension kicks a$$ too, but it's also a huge pain to install and/or have it installed. If they cost the same, it would definitely be Griggs.

What would you do? Why?

Thanks.

I just went through this whole process and came up with going with a Griggs rear and TCP front. Unless you are really gonna race the hell out of the car, or you just want to be extra cool, the griggs front IMO is overkill for the cost. You might want to see if you can still get in on this deal if you are interested in TCP

In my opinion, i say quit being such alittle B$%^&* and charge that Sh&** to the game. Griggs all the way man.

Shut up John, your opinion doesn't count since I own half your car. I'll listen after I get my motor and tranny back!!

Does any one have pictures of the Griggs GR350 front suspension installed. I have looked a little on their web site but I could not find any GR350 suspension pictures. Thanks.

When I was researching for my decision I contacted Griggs. They sent me some pics and put me in contact with one of their distributors who was finishing up a complete GR350 fastback (awesome car) who also sent me pics. Here are some pics

Thanks alot GP001, it does look an awsome suspension, but just as involved as a MII set up. If I had the cash I think I would go for that. Thanks agian.
