I have a RRS strut kit Koni coilovers and RRS spindles with the phase 2 PBR calipers and 12" rotors for sale. The set up is about 2yrs old but only has a thousand miles on it max.

I believe this kit will work for 66-69 Fairlanes and Torinos. It may also work for Mustangs.

I also have a set of single piston PBR caliper rear brakes with 11" rotors.

The kit uses a proprietary spindle that accepts any late model GTO brakes (although redriled to Ford pattern). The calipers are PBR with dust shields and use off the shelf pads for a late model GTO so they are easy to get from any auto parts store even if you want the green EBC or something special.

The KOni coilover bolts to the spindle and the top sits in a housing that fits into your shock tower with no irreversible modifications. (you drill three holes to hold the mount and ring in place).

You use your stock lower arms and strut rods. You can use aftermarket strut rods no problem but you cannot use a TCP or Global West lower arm because they interfere with the RRS spindle.

The stuff has a couple thousand miles on it (at most) so it is a little dirtier than in these shiney new pictures. It s stil on the car so if anyone makes me an offer and wants to see a "now" pic I'll take a wheel off and shoot it.

The rears are also a PBR caliper accepting stock style brake pad and have a parking brake that works well.

The set up worked great but I am going a step further with the build and won't be using it anymore.

Still for sale.

This is a straightforward bolt in kit that rides and stops better than stock. It also allows you to easily adjust height and dampening settings. It also lets you run more backspace and a wider wheel in front and trim your shock towers for more engine compartment room. I don't have any track data but cornering grip, turn in, bump steer all feel better than stock from the seat of the pants.

My 700+hp TP and driveline need a suspension equally capable so instead of throwing money at the back end I am having the RS build me a complete chassis.
