A look at AJE's front suspension kit for foxbody mustangs + EXCLUSIVE fox mustang "game changer" product announcement from AJE.
Check out their MODULAR Y2K-member! With EcoBoost 2.3L motor mounts, Coilover kit, front tubular A-Arms and Strange Struts. Their K-Member allows you to swap engine mounts without changing the K-Member! They even have Godzilla mounts.
Project EgoBruise our 2.3 EcoBoost 1979 fox coupe is getting a massive front-end upgrade, in what I think is an "Industry leader" in components for our fox mustangs.

@jfisher99999 3 жыл бұрын

The AJE has more clearance than the MM for headers. The only issue I can think of is that the MM K member changes the geometry of all of the front suspension. If you have a set of Kooks built specifically for the MM k member you may run into some fitment issues

@HOUSEOFDULA 3 жыл бұрын

Nice! This was a 3M product. I was a little woried about it going on bare metal, but the product sheet explicitly says it can be applied to bare metal and painted over. Figure the epoxy would have no issues sealing it. BUT, this was my concern at first. Im going to sand down the seam sealer, then epoxy, then filler, then high build. Taking the floor ALL the way down...not sure If Im going that far just yet ;)

@mchristr 6 ай бұрын

The choice of k-member very much depends on usage. For drag racing, a lighter k-member may be adequate. But if you're road racing a heavier car with sticky tires, you'll need a much stronger part. All k-members are definitely NOT created equal.

@HOUSEOFDULA 6 ай бұрын

This is very true. You'll notice a difference with say t he MM K-members vs this one. AJEs are geared towards street and drag racing it seems, although they sell a kit that adds arm to this for more of a road race car as well. If this was an SCCA dedicated road racer Id likely use an MM one, but for for a large portion of us builders it'll be perfect.

@centraltexasfoxbodies 3 жыл бұрын

Man, I wish my aje went in that easy, I actually had fitment issues with my aje in my 79 fox, I had to actually cut off a rear section where it mounts under the floor, I called aje on it and they actually sent me plates to sandwhich the k member free of charge and am happy with the service. I also used their factory spring a arms and I absolutely hate that the spring doesn't sit in the lower a arm like the stock arm, compare the stock arm to the ajr arm and you will see what I mean.

@@HOUSEOFDULA the front where the springs sit bolted in just fine, the rear pad on the k member was too long, which is just a build issue, maybe it depends on the factory it was built at as to how it was built, or maybe just a pace car issue, I really don't know.

@Drives88 3 жыл бұрын

Sorry to say I sent mine back to Jeg's where I bought it. Didn't fit the factory holes at all. Also the front track width was going to be over an 1" in with factor arms. Don't know if there a arms are longer that stock but I didn't have time to mess with that or the alignment.

@HOUSEOFDULA 3 жыл бұрын

interesting. Like most projects, these old cars, fit is different from one car to another. So the total track width was 1" WIDER with their K-member and factory arms? Id be interested to see their thoughts on this, and I didnt mention becaseu frankly Im not certain, if they compensate with their arms, but I dont recall him mentioning NOT being able to use factory arms.

AJE gave me this kit to video and contribute to the build, but I was given nothing special a paying customer would have received. That being said I suspect the Viking brand springs are standard on the coil over kit. When you order the kit you can specify spring rate, so springs come with the kit.
