[@locustent]

I just installed a Mustang II kit from Heidt's in my '40 Ford coupe chassis on the way to a frame-up rebuild. I agree that the quality of their welds is FAR superior to any of the other brands you showed. EVERY component of the kit came with its own set of detailed instructions plus, as shown in the video, a 10-page booklet of instructions with exploded-view illustrations for their complete Mustang II Kit is packaged with the cross member. Their Customer Service/Tech Expert, George, was extremely helpful in answering my questions and helping me make sure I was ordering all the right parts for my application.

[@GODSPEEDGarage]

couldn't agree more. after this experience I'm a big fan of heidts. I will be using their stuff again in the future

Great video. You should do the same video for rear triangulated 4-links 👍

[@MegaCountach]

Great video, thanks! Cheers, Doug

[@jasona6222]

This video is spot on…if you have more time than money, you can skimp with cheaper suspension but you better have the skills or have experience installing suspensions. I give up counting all the frame swaps I’ve done because of old rides..dog legging down the road. Even front end alignment shops have a difficult time figuring out what’s jacked up. Just like framing a house…cross measure/triangulate all measurements to check square. We measure from ball joint’s to fixed point on rear axle. Double check wheelbase and checking square.

That was an eye opening experience and well worth the price of admission. Thank you so much. I currently have a 51 Chev 5-window and this is a project I'm anticipating doing very soon (bummed I didn't get a tax refund this year). I'll likely go with the Heidts or TCI kit but was considering the Speedway kit. Though it does seem to be a good value, I like what I saw when you showed me the Heidts kit.

[@GODSPEEDGarage]

if you can afford heidts or TCI you should definitely go that route! I'm pleased with the Speedway kit, but ultimately ended up with heidts A-arms and crossmember, along with the heidts sway bar. whatever you do, DON'T BUY HELIX or anything from JOHNNY LAW MOTORS, or HOFFMAN GROUP. check their BBB rating... it's terrible. WORST. EXPERIENCE. EVER. ultimately about a $1200 mistake, that would've been more if I didn't live in Oregon and had to pay to ship the kit back!

Let me explain something to people. A lot of guys don’t know there ass from a hole in the ground when it comes to welding. You could have that thing tack welded 1 inch apart and it would hold up a battle ship. Most carbon welding wire is rated for 70000 lbs per square inch of weld.

[@farmerbrown3768]

My experience was using a Mustang II IFS from Southern Rods comparing to your video it appears it ,Ithe Helix parts like the a A arms the seals on the ball joints ,mine are already splitting and coming off. The biggest complaint was I, used a GM Saganau power steering pump . It worked fine for about 50 miles then the rack & pinion went crazy and blew out input shaft seal on the rack. I later found out I needed a reducer in the pump to drop the presssure . Now I’m finding out that Southern does not service their parts, I so far have not found a oil seal for the power rack!

[@deankay4434]

With a 1967 C10 truck I'm wondering about the mustang II rack. It's housing and piston diameter would pretty small, considering it was designed for a light weight car. I would think it may wear out quicker and develop leaks if used on a truck, 5.3L engine and accessories. Then consider forces larger tires may impose on bump-steer if not exactly level when fully assembled. Good side-by-side comparison on parts though. SpeedWay parts, the oldest speed shop in the nation, right there in Lincoln, NE. Great people!

[@briansawdo6787]

Thank you for your comparison. I’m not sure which direction I am going on my ‘59 Apache. Nova subframe, Mustang 2 or leave the straight axle and upgrade the brakes and suspension. I don’t know how to weld yet but I want to learn. Thanks for the info.

[@jasona6222]

Hopefully you have your suspension in place by now but for others…Camaro/Nova front ends are ok but usually take more time to install/fab core support mounts etc. Camber was always a problem..even when 2nd gen Camaro’s we’re new. Nova is same suspension as Camaro. Your simplest solution is heidts mustang II or super ride. Fatman is good as well. We complete them in 2 days but give yourself 3-4 days or weekends. I run heidts super ride on my personal rides but customers typically go with mustang 2. It’s a,,,good enough suspension.

A guy I'm building car for ordered a helix suspension for his car. I gave exact measurements and told him I didn't want it if I had to cut and weld on. And guess what no instructions either. And crossmember was too narrow. I called them back and was told its universal and you have to cut it. Now it is a very good looking kit with powder coated crossmember. The rotors are drilled and has coil over shocks..but I do have to cut crossmember and widen it almost 2 inches each side..

Great video thanks for the info! Can you please tell me why you went with the Hiedt crossmember and tower and not the speedway? I watched all of your videos on this and didnt hear how you decided that. Thanks.

[@GODSPEEDGarage]

tmg24 thanks for watching!! when I saw all the problems with the HELIX kit - especially the crossmember - I thought I could fix it by using a high-end crossmember with the HELIX components. WRONG... the HELIX components won't work - A arms are a different width, bolts are different size, track width and geometry would be thrown off... that's when I started exploring other options... I almost sent the crossmember back and went with the Heidts kit (which would've been another $500-$600), but summit would've charged a restocking fee plus shipping adding to the overall cost... I found the speedway kit, searched for reviews (couldn't find much - hence this video), called tech, asked a bunch of questions, and decided to go with Speedway and keep my crossmember. I am SO GLAD I DID!! (if you saw the install video it turned out great) I returned that piece of crap HELIX kit, which is another long story - they charged me an 20% restocking fee (even though it wasn't as advertised and there were a BUNCH of issues with it including damaged parts from poor packaging) and I had to pay shipping?!? I will never deal with JOHNNY LAW MOTORS or HELIX or any other company owned by HOFFMAN GROUP (check their BBB rating - it's horrible!!) I left a review of that kit on their website and THEY TOOK IT DOWN!!! in fact, there are NO reviews, which makes me wonder if they took other negative reviews down as well?!? I digress... all in all it came down to the fact that I already purchased the Heidts crossmember. the speedway crossmember looks decent enough and I'm sure you'll be happy with it. I've been happy with everything I've purchased from Speedway. and their customer service is excellent.

@@aaronson2540 you can go straight to the heidts website: www.heidts.com/part/mustang-2-front-suspension-ifs/ or you can google search "heidts mustang II". they also sell them at places like Jegs and Summit Racing among others. just to clarify - I used the SPEEDWAY kit: www.speedwaymotors.com/Mustang-II-IFS-Standard-Tubular-Control-Arms-Stock-Springs-and-Spindles,2089.html - the crossmember is sold separately, and these kits are specific for the vehicle you're putting it on. I went with the HEIDTS crossmember, and because of a snafu on Speedway's part, I got heidts lower control arms. Speedway is a great company, I'm glad I chose their kit. but for an extra $600 or so, you can go with the heidts kit. hope that helps!!

Hello All, I wish you had this vid out sooner ....LOL and that I had found it... I made the mistake of getting the Helix IFS kit a little way back, as you stated customer support totally sucks, I am not a pro at restoring car projects, this was... lol... supposed to be a relaxing hobby project, I am working my way through it though, with vids like yours and others, figuring out what is what, so I am making progress. I did order the kit thinking it was for my car (65 Mustang) as they ask for a car model when you order it, you get bags of parts with no instructions as to where they go, what little instructions (you have find someone to send them to you) you finally get are vague, and only get you so far, yes you have to make your own calculations to cut the crossmember and Shock tops to fit your car, which totally sucks because that's why I ordered my kit for a Mustang, but as you say, it is a universal kit so you need to modify it as needed unfortunately . If I had to do this over again I definitely would never use Helix again, pay the extra money for those other kits. Unless of course you are into pain and suffering and enjoy figuring out problems just for the fun of it..

Bought mine on ebay… had to grind down the caliper mounting brackets because they were machined wrong. Other than that it was fine…. Still haven’t driven and have to to get it aligned we’ll see how that goes

Not saying the helix is good or anything, but just going to point out a solution to one of your issues. The section you cut out to fit your frame, flip them over and weld in under the frame, to fill in rhe section the frame overhangs.

that's an idea... but there were a TON of other issues with the kit. they advertised it as if it was specific for my car, only to find out it's a UNIVERSAL KIT, and the track width was wider. it wouldn't work for my car. cheap ball joints, bearing, and other "consumable" parts. HORRIFIC welds. it didn't feel safe, let alone lacking quality. I'm glad I didn't put it on my car. I'm MUCH happier with the speedway kit, and with speedway's customer service and tech team.

@@GODSPEEDGarage i hear you but i just seen a simple fix to the overhang issue .

Hey man do you know if the mustang ii front suspension works for the 73-79 f100? Or should I just go with a crown vic suspension

[@GODSPEEDGarage]

this particular kit was specifically designed for 47 - 54 chevy car. I'm not sure if they make one for your truck, you'll have to check with Speedway. whatever you do - DON'T BUY ANYTHING FROM JOHNNY LAW MOTORS or HELIX or any other company owned by HOFFMAN GROUP. check their BBB rating... worst company and worst experience ever...

I am a big fan of the Crown Vic suspensions. I put one in a '55 F100 using stock Highway Patrol wheels. It drives straight as an arrow and so much better than the Gibbons/Cordoba kit that it replaced. I also put one in my sons '68 F100. The CV suspension is almost designed to drop into the newer frames.

Speedway rocks!

[@GODSPEEDGarage]

I've never had a bad experience with them. great company, customer service and products!!

[@susandecker3576]

From what I've seen, Helix is crap, sometimes warped control arms, I would be checking tube thickness

[@GODSPEEDGarage]

HELIX is absolute garbage, and worse customer service. don't buy anything from JOHNNY LAW MOTORS, HOFFMAN GROUP, or HELIX
