When I was planning on getting a 67/68 I was gonna go with AJE, I like how it opens up the engine bay. I had planned to go with a DOHC motor.

Here's a write-up on it.

i like it..although i would want to completely shave the shock towers. other than gaining more room for a bigger engine.. is it worth it?

Pros would be more space, better steering geometry and better handling however one of the reviews says it's closer to a full race set-up rather than a street set-up. Better priced than some and superior to a mustang II set-up but others still liked the TCP set-up better.

If you find some let me know Daniel

Jim meyer just came out witha setup recently as well. Dont go RRS if you want that style go with gateway clasic mustang. they took the RRS design and improved upon it. that and with RRS they use an odd ball gto hub assembly that is only available in aust.only. and you have to use there brake setup where gateway uses an sn 95 style hub assembly and baer brakes. havent had a chance to drive my car but we'll see how it goes. The AJE kit looks cool but even with good welding I dont like the welding 4 sleeves in your frame and those four sleeves will have the four bolts holding your front suspension and motor in the car. keep in mind with AJE or RRS style you can only notch the towers you have to keep the top as the mounting point for the coil over struts. only way to get rid of them all together is to go mustang 2 and there is no straight answer there. theres still lots of controversy there.

another option is cortex if you want to dump about $10k just in your front end!LOL

also talk to shaun over at Street Or Track he makes nice stuff and he does all his own R&D

ill see if i can find one of the pics i have with the 13" 2-piece rotor on. this is the Gateway kit. I was skeptical about going strut but it seemed to allow the most lowering without affecting ride to bad. and two years back their car placed 7th out of 50 cars that came out to run optima ultimate street car challenge.

Daniel im lookin at TCP and Global West for the front..still have to do more research because i want a good street set up that can still go to the track

another thing to consider even if they were cool people to deal with. is Autoworks buys all there parts from a lot of manufactures(they really dont make a lot of parts in house)also they are in CA and well Sales Tax could be hefty on a couple $1000.00 purchase.
