Total Control Products helps get our '70 Mustang project track-ready with new suspension. (http://www.mustangandfords.com/techarticles/suspension/mdmp_1210_front_suspension_upgrade_ready_for_actio n_part_1/)As we've slowly improved our High School Hauler '70 Mustang coupe project, we've kept a fairly narrow focus on dragstrip performance with the ability to maintain the car's streetability (no trailers here, just a nice 45-minute ride to the track, burn some tire, and then a 45-minute ride home). Over the last year, we've dropped the gear ratio, added stronger axles, sticky tires out back, full dual exhaust with long tube headers, a new transmission, front disc brakes, and gave the 302 a serious shot in the arm with a Summit top-end kit. The Mustang is more fun to drive, sounds better, stops better, and really moves out nicely now. The one last piece of the performance puzzle is the coupe's aging stock suspension.
