1961-1965 Ford Falcon Complete HQ Coilover Suspension Handling Kit - Ridetech 12280201
Front: We started with fitting 225/40-R18 tires (Recommended Backspace 5.00 in.-5.25 in.) and then built a tubular control arm set up to provide all the correct geometry to get them to work effectively. The steering was also completely updated to provide quick response and virtually no bump steer. To finish off the front suspension, we fitted a new MuscleBar sway bar that is heavy enough to take on the most aggressive of drivers. Rear: We chose to fix the rear suspension in much the same way we have done on many muscle cars originally equipped with leaf springs swap in a 4-link. This rear bolt-on 4-link suspension system completely transforms the little Ford Falcon into a world-class handling machine, and at the same time provides an incredibly smooth ride and bind-free operation. Starting off, the rear will accept up to a 225/40-R18 with a recommended backspace 5.50 in. – 6.00 in. and provide a ride Height: 18 ¾” ground to the fender lip.
