12:05 Garage- ’70 Duster build
Not going to lie, I was a little disappointed that this wasn't the G3 install. :poke:
I've read so many negative comments about coil over setups...
I am certain I haven't read all the comments, but most of what I remember starts with "I have to have a COC to make my car handle" which usually devolves into the deficiencies of one or both systems.
I don't believe there is a perfect solution out there, my only gripe is the push by the aftermarket to make it seem like a $5k+ system is the only option.
It will be interesting to hear your back to back review on this. Far as I know, this will be the first one.
BTW, of all the COC options, I think HDK is the best of them. So good choice there.
The spindle/hub assembly you see below is a drop in for the Mustang 2, but uses a C5/C6 corvette hub and brake configuration.
I've often wished there was an option for a cartridge style wheel bearing setup for an A-Body. I should have guessed there was an option for the M2 spindles. At the same time, I wonder if it wasn't just a cost cutting solution for the OEM's and the stock setup is actually more robust. Doubt it matters, it's not like you see C5/6 Vette's littering the road courses missing a wheel because of a failure.
I know you were working on some of the issues with a G3 swap (oil filter and AC compressor clearance), is that part of why you made the jump?
