We look at the RRS McPherson Strut System for 1965 1966 1967 1968 1969 1970 1971 1972 1973 Mustang. This suspension is also good for Falcon Fairlane Maverick and Comet. We will be using the fully adjustable McPherson strut and the excellent Phase 2 brake kit.

I love mine on my 65 Fastback. The car handles like a Ferrari. RRS-online went over the top with their Engineering. Its a thing of beauty. Family run, and they are wonderful people to deal with. I also went with their rack and pinion system, and powered it with a mini cooper electric motor they recommended. Really sweet stuff running for 2yrs with it. Great video.

I really like the product as well, well engineered well-thought-out and I agree it does handle much better like a European sports car.

I have RRS front end and billet lwr cntrl arm for my 1979 XD Australian Falcon which most yanks would never have even seen one. Im not sure what you guys call a negative regarding cost but got the RRS front big brakes and was about 9K Australian for memory. The RRS caliper is bolted together with billet steel to eliminate caliper flex, they are hard core. In my opinion it is still worth every cent if you want the best there is. The other possible negative not mentioned is weight! This is NOT lightweight drag racing components that will fall apart on Australias really crappy roads, it is virtually hard core circuit racing items throughout. My final opinion is it looks way better in the skin than on this video for some reason... it is an item of beauty and function. oh i nearly forgot, i have the billet alloy strut top tower cover too, that tidies up the engine bay and finishes it all off nicely. Thanks for the vid, i watched with interest.

Hi Mickey, Just wondering on the comfort level versus a hard race suspension feel inside the car for the RRS front end coilover setup? I've been looking for an in car on the road review of RRS coilover setup but not found much at all of how it rides.. It's 4 way adjustable but have heard some negativity about coilover ride in the past and never had a set myself.. Thanks in advance for any insight you may be able to provide..

If you think the rules are tough in Oz, they are worse here in NZ. I have the RRS struts with phase 3 brakes along with the rack and pinion steering. I also installed the tower notch kit and that has given me heaps more room between the shock towers, enough room for a Coyote, but who can afford one of those. Im not really sold on the steering rack, its taking a lot to get the alignment just right.

That is really, really gorgeous stuff. Beautiful components. I've watched some of their videos, all of which are several years old on YT. While it isn't what you're reviewing here, RRS and Maximum Motorsports have convinced me of the desirability of torque arm rear suspension on cars which originally came with leaf springs or triangulated four link. One of the wrinkles in the RRS torque arm which caused a great deal of thought is their insistence torque arm cars don't need subframe connectors. I'd be inclined to say they're wrong because they're the only ones to go that way, but their engineering is so thorough it's risky to say they're wrong. I've also known some Australian hot rodders and for a fact they can't just whip something up and say it's fine as long as it doesn't fall apart on the way to inspection. The Aussies are very serious about making hot rodders prove their engineering is solid before certifying a car for road use.
@AutoRestoMod
@AutoRestoMod 2 жыл бұрын
I really don't see a need for the subframe connectors because of how the torque arm is set up. From my understanding the torque arm is on a pivot at the front of the front of the system so that would alleviate a lot of instances where the torque arm would try to rip out the floor pans in the front under hard use.
@johnbarker5009
@johnbarker5009 2 жыл бұрын
@@AutoRestoMod that's exactly the point RSS makes in their own material and I'm certainly not qualified to tell them they're wrong. They're putting all the axle housing torque into the front subframe, so the rear frame rails actually carry less of the burden than they do in the stock car.

My biggest problem with the early ford suspension is that lower control arm being so flimsy, my first 66 had the passenger lower arm and rod with mounts ripped out at 45-50. (Huge pothole in BPT I-95) ever since then that lower control arm and radius rod seem like go-kart parts rather than automotive use. I know I know but I am entitled to my crappy opinion too.
