Mattt Posted July 25, 2014 Author Share Posted July 25, 2014 Not keen on bags. Not for any real reason except I just wanna try something a bit different. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spencer Posted July 25, 2014 Share Posted July 25, 2014 Coil overs on wishbone suspension is hardly unique, its almost the universal standard in aftermarket front ends. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
westy Posted July 25, 2014 Share Posted July 25, 2014 Mount inboard with rocker arm? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nominal Posted July 25, 2014 Share Posted July 25, 2014 You could mount them above the top arm on big towers. Would look odd though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spencer Posted July 25, 2014 Share Posted July 25, 2014 Yea no one wants a OG mustang suspension conversion on their crown. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattt Posted July 25, 2014 Author Share Posted July 25, 2014 Once I've done some more measurements I can decide if I'll be making new arms or modify the factory ones. I'd love to just buy a 4K mustang front end and weld it on but I don't have the money for that and I wouldn't learn anything from it. I kinda like the idea of finding something at a wreckers that may work and making it fit. It might not be the perfect way and it may not be unique but if I can do it then it will be a great learning curve. Thanks for the help I feel a bit more comfortable in moving forward with it now.

Yowzer Posted July 26, 2014 Share Posted July 26, 2014 I will be watching this with interest. Custom suspension is neat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glen Posted July 26, 2014 Share Posted July 26, 2014 L300 front ends are the go for a lot of budget hot rod guys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spencer Posted July 26, 2014 Share Posted July 26, 2014 Whoa! hold on there, Yes L300 and Holden front ends are used in old 50's and earlier hotrods but they are just as shit as the crown front end. Any junk yard wishbone front will leave you exactly where you are now with the crown front end. Theres 3 options IMO: custom arms and chopping the chassis, aftermarket front like a mustang 2 (not the full chassis clip), or just chuck springs in it and be happy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattt Posted July 26, 2014 Author Share Posted July 26, 2014 i'm going to go with the custom arms and chassis chop. that way i'll get the experience of building my own arms, fucking it up, rebuilding my front arms, probably fucking it up again and finally getting it bang on 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You will probably need to get TAC approval for custom suspension arms (check the HCTM carefully before starting). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
