Aero after market front suspension
« on: July 04, 2017, 09:04:51 PM »
I am starting to look into a Mustang 2 type of IFS for my Aero. I want a modern suspension with easily obtained replacement parts, disc brakes, and a 5 bolt pattern to match my Ford 8" rear. Does anyone here have any experience with a kit that would make a good starting point for an Aero?
Thanks.

Thanks for the lead. With so many options out there it's hard to know where to start.  I'll give them a look.

So my front end is completely disassembled and I can't find my notes on the original width of the Aero front end.  Can I get a measurement from someone?  I'm looking for the distance from wheel mounting surface to wheel mounting surface. 
Thank you.

59" track width is what I recall. That closely matches the rear axle's 58.5". Correct me if you have different info.
