REAR:
We chose to fix the rear suspension in much the same way we have done on many muscle cars originally equipped with leaf springs… swap in a 4-link.
This rear bolt-on 4-link suspension system completely transforms the little Ford Falcon into a world class handling machine, and at the same time provides an incredible smooth ride and bind free operation.
Starting off, the rear will accept up to a 225/40-R18 with a recommended backspace 5.50 in. – 6.00 in. and provide a ride Height: 18.75 in. ground to the fender lip.
