Help deciding on coil over conversion

[mbell]

I have a 69 fastback and I want to upgrade the suspension. I am currently looking at total control products tubular control arms and coil overs ($2,200). Have any of you installed this set-up or any other set-up you would recommend?

I don't want to get into the hiedths (spelling?) mustang II suspension that requires frame cutting.

I have the drivetrain sorted out - 408 stroker +/- 485 hp, street fighter c4 with gear vendor simi auto 6 speed, ATI 2800 stall converter and 3.55 gear with limited slip. I have added shelby style traction bars and 295 50 15 bf goodrich rubber. Now I want it to handle like its running on rails - any suggestions or guidance on suspension upgrades.

either the TCP or GW setup would be my choice. personally i'd prefer the GW setup for my car and i'd also get the Evolution motorsports 3 link when it comes out.

I've installed the TCP coilover in my '69 fastback and installation is a cinch. My wife was really disappointed that I spent that much money and was done in a couple of days. Build quality was really good.

I can only look at it from the installation standpoint as I have not driven the car with the new suspension yet.

added note. i still personally prefer the GW system but i'd run the new style TCP strut rods with either setup.

I installed RRS struts and am very impressed with the ride -smooth as and corners real nice. They bolt up th the origional holes and use the stock lower control arm.
