'51 new IFS installation

I was hoping Brian colud answer a few of these as he is not selling these and would have a 1st person experience !!
I haven't purchased the next front suspension yet, and I have a few days to do some "homework".
I haven't used coilovers so I don't know the cost or how they ride on our pot hole streets!!!

I'd be glad to answer any questions I can, however, I've not a lot of experience, this is/was my first big mod to anything. (that's why I'm so happy with the way it turned out).

I decided to go with the corvette front suspension rather than a mustang ii because:
A. it was a bit different
B. the initial cost seemed to be (surprisingly) a bit cheaper than the US made MII kits.

Flat Out and Progressive Automotive both make Corvette IFS kits, the major difference being that Flat Out requires a bit less welding and allows you to use the stock Corvette rack, where Progressive requires a shortened rack. I have no doubt that the Progressive kit is of similar quality.

Man that front end setup looks nice and clean.
The coil overs work great. I had them in the front of my truck for the first 6 years. Found the coils like to settle in and you have to adjust them. They were finally bottoming out end of last year and I replaces them with a set of shock waves.
