Just like our new struts the caster/camber plates can also be rebuilt. The spherical bearing design means there is no rubber bushing to deflect the front struts, further cementing the car’s handling. They’re also needed to get the front end aligned properly, which has limited adjustment with the factory parts.

Caster/camber plates are necessary to handle the change in load to the strut mounting point, which will now also bear the front end weight of the car. The caster/camber plates, part number CC104MU, are made from high quality steel.

Our struts were already setup to accept the company’s coil over kit, part number COK103 which was easy to install and offers incredibly fine adjustment for ride height. This means that we can, with certainty, adjust the front suspension to our exact needs or taste with the simple turn of the dials. The total number of possible permutations of these is 324 unique settings. They can be adjusted for anything from comfortable cruising, to maximum weight transfer in drag racing, to corner slaying tight. Our double adjustable struts feature 18 settings for both compression and rebound. The struts like everything else that QA1 offers are also rebuildable, if one isn’t performing properly, or if we know they’re worn we can remove them and send them to QA1 for servicing. Dave Goldie from QA1 tells us, “You can adjust the strut as the horsepower and output of your car changes.” This means as we increase the power output of our project car, we can adjust the front suspension accordingly, or even if our driving styles between road racing and drag racing change. Our struts are part number HD603S, they feature a steel body, with a twin tube design. A coil over kit is required when using Team Z’s parts as the factory spring pockets are eliminated on the tubular counterparts. This not only offers us a weight reduction, but allows us a broad range of adjustability on our struts.

Dave Goldie, QA1įor our strut and spring upgrade we’re using QA1 struts, coil over sleeves, springs, and caster-camber plates. Four piston calipers from Wilwood and Strange Engineering, at the front and rear respectively, help that parachute slow the Mustang down.You can adjust the strut as the horsepower and output of your car changes.

#Team z front spindles pro
Mickey Thompson rubber is the natural choice, with 275/60/15 Pro Bracket Radials getting the power to the ground. The Mustang is sporting a mismatched set of wheels, with a pair of 15x3.5 Mickey Thompson ET Drags up front and 15x10 American Racing Track Stars out back. The suspension features pieces from Strange Engineering, Team Z, Hypercoil, and Racecraft, and with 2-inch drop spindles up front the Mustang's stance is just about perfect to our eyes. With that much torque coming through the drivetrain Andy wanted to keep the Fox body from twisting, so he had a 10-point chromoly cage and subframe connectors installed. A Proformance Racing Power Glide, with a 5,500-rpm stall speed sends all that power back to a Ford 8.8-inch rear end with 4.10:1 gears.

If you look past all the shiny bits in the engine bay you'll notice that every piece of the ignition system sports an MSD badge aside from NGK 9 spark plugs and a yellow top Optima that's been relocated to the hatch area.
