ok i have searched alot on here and have not found the info i am looking for everyone talks about the rod and custom front end kit but there website does not show a maverick in the applications list why not? which kit do i need?
They do not show it listed on their site as Maverick specific, but when you order you tell them what car you are putting it in and that is what you will get. I spent 20 minutes on the phone with them on Wednesday. Very knowledgable!! I ordered mine right away. They do seem to know what they are doing. You will need to decide, coil over or standard coil and shock kit. I went with the coilover set up. I am hoping to have mine mid week. I hope so because I have a 5 day weekend coming up with the holiday. I pulled all the front suspension out today, I am ready to get going!!
They are very acomodating, After multiple calls we settled on the RC 107 kit, over the 106 kit only because the 107 has an adjustable ride height, and it is only a few bucks more.
sppedwaymotors.com sells a kit like theirs for less money but theirs doesn't say what it will fit either
how much is there shipping? the speedway kit is 1175 dollars that is like 600 dollars cheaper but i have not called to see if they will fit a maverick
RCmotorsports kits ARE made specifically for mavericks. Just give them a call, they are great to deal with but be ready to stay on the phone for a while. They like to talk I think its best that you call speedwaymotors. I can't find anything about the mustang suspension kit that is vehicle specific. Unless it is specifically made for the maverick, there will be some degree of fabrication and/or cutting. If I remember right, the shipping was included in rc's price, but I could be wrong. I haven't put my RC kit in yet (maybe this winter), but the quality looks to be top notch; some of the best welding that I've seen. edit: You'll end up calling rod and custom no matter what, you can't order online...
Even if you go the Speedway route you may end up at the same price. After you buy the filler panels for the shock towers, steering couplers etc.. Plus I really don't think that theirs is going to be Mav. specific. Fom the research I have done, R&C is about the only one that is Mav. specific. Sure you could modify the others I guess. But when it comes to front suspension, I would sticl with something that is made to just weld right in.
I talked with Heidt's, speedway, fatman, and everyone I could find, RC was the only one that said their product was maverick specific. 71gold I do believe has already installed one of their kits. And yes there are other kits that appear to be less expensive, but after yo buy other blackets plates, couplers etc. and then figure the time it takes to fabricate and inststall plus make certain everything is in alignment, you may wish you had spent the initial extra.
Rod & Custom kits fits your car...other kits you make your car fit there kit. With R&C everything you need is in the box. With other kits not all parts needed are not in the box. I can sale disc brake kits cheap but you will need to supply your own spindles, rotors, calipters and brake hose.
