Factory Design

One of the major shortcomings of classic automobiles is their handling characteristics. While going down a straight highway this early design may seem adequate, but it does not meet today's standards during braking and cornering. The 1960's technology and manufacturing methods are a mere shadow of what is possible today. The stamped steel design and rubber bushings of the factory suspension allow unwanted deflection. This deflection translates into inconsistencies in the arch of travel that the suspension moves through. The end result is an overly "soft" suspension system and sometimes unpredictable handling characteristics. We offer three complete systems below for different uses. Please allow 2-3 weeks for delivery! 

Factory Upper Control Arm

 
Front Coil-Over
Conversion Kit

Take it to the Next Level

The TCP front coil-over conversion is a fully adjustable suspension system that utilizes the key factory mounting locations. With only a common drill, minor modifications to the upper control-arm pivot position and upper coil-spring seat dramatically improve vehicle handling. Our all-new TrueCenter pivot sockets and tubular suspension components provide extremely precise control over the spindle travel arch with linear resistance making suspension tuning changes effective and predictable. Suspension geometry improvements include: lower center of gravity, higher roll center, reduced vehicle roll rate, quicker negative camber gain, increased compression travel, reduced rebound travel to limit body roll, more desirable shock motion ratio, and correct axis and length of lower arm assembly when utilizing factory mounting positions. Although pictured, these kits do not include the spindles. Technical Data Sheet

Front Coil-Spring
Conversion Kit

The TCP front coil-spring suspension is a fully adjustable suspension system that utilizes the key factory mounting locations to greatly simplify installation. Our all-new, exclusive TrueCenter pivot sockets and tubular suspension components provide extremely precise control over the spindle’s travel arch with linear resistance. Suspension-geometry improvements include: lower center of gravity, higher roll center, reduced vehicle roll rate, quicker negative-camber gain, increased compression travel, reduced rebound travel to limit body roll, and correct axis and length of lower arm assembly when utilizing factory mounting positions. A brand new, Total Control exclusive, billet-aluminum, offset-pivotshaft option, enables precise relocation of the upper-control-arm pivot axis, for improved camber gain geometry without the need to drill holes, or risk of error.

VariSpring VR Series - Progressive Rate Coil Springs
Total Control’s new VR series of progressive rate coil springs offers you the best way to get the ride and handling you want for your classic Mustang. The unique design advantages of progressive springs provides a stock like, but firm ride during normal driving. As your vehicle is driven harder, the suspension will travel into the higher-rate range of the spring, providing increased stiffness and handling performance improvement. Made from high strength alloy steel and wound on a specialized CNC spring coiler, VR springs are the best you can buy. Silver-powder-coat finish for a lasting appearance.

VariShock Bolt-Ins, Adjustable Shocks
To take full advantage of the factory mounting position, a complete custom shock absorber was developed by VariShock. Installed height, travel, valving range and mounting configuration are built to our exact specifications, whereas other manufactures are forced to compromise with “off-the-shelf” products. Quickset 1 single-adjustable shock is standard, offering 16 settings at which both bump and rebound are adjusted simultaneously. This offers a good compromise between the ultimate tuneability of the QuickSet 2 and affordability of the QuickSet 1. Optionally available is our double-adjustable QuickSet 2, which allows individual control of vehicle separation (rebound) and settling (bump) independent of each other. This gives the ability to tune your suspension for desired ride quality or specific track conditions for ultimate performance. System uses OEM or TCP spindle (TCP SPND-01).

Parts included: Front Coil-Spring Suspension: upper arms, lower arms, strut rods, shock mounts, single-adjustable shocks, progressive-rate springs, and mounting hardware

 

 



Front ShockWave® Conversion Kit

The ShockWave® suspension system is a bolt-in, combination air spring and shock absorber that directly replaces the OEM coil springs and shocks. ShockWave® systems are available with single- or double-adjustable valving and provide complete control over ride quality, handling performance and ride height. The ShockWave® patented design makes it the only fully adjustable, direct bolt-in air suspension for 1964-1970 Mustangs. System uses OEM or TCP spindle (TCP SPND-01).

ShockWave®
Given the available space and factory mounting positions, our sister company, VariShock, along with Air Ride Technologies, set out to find the best product solution possible. The end result was a newly designed, combination air spring and shock absorber enabling complete ride control as well as adjustable ground clearance. When fully deflated, the vehicle rests 5-6” below stock ride height and can be raised to driving height at the push of a button. A RidePro™ compressor system is required for operation.

ShockWaveSingle-Adjustable (SA) or Double-Adjustable (DA)
The patented ShockWave® air spring is available in QuickSet 1, single-adjustable (SA) or QuickSet 2, double-adjustable (DA) versions. ShockWave® SA features a 16-position, positive-click knob that adjusts overall resistance of the shock in both compression and rebound. ShockWave® DA features two, independent 16-position knobs enabling up to 256 different combinations of instant adjustment. One knob sets the bump (compression) range; the other sets rebound (extension). Each knob is laser-etched with directional arrows and “plus/minus” symbols that clearly indicate which direction achieves the desired adjustment. Additional arrows etched into the ShockWave® DA base reveal which knob sets bump, and which sets rebound. All adjustments are made in seconds, without removing or unbolting the ShockWave.

Parts Included: upper arms, lower arms, strut rods, ShockWave® mounts, single-adjustable ShockWaves®, and mounting hardware (compressor system sold separately)
