This product looks to be innovative and at the same time very practical. Overall a very nice system made in the United States.
Very good to know 👍I would definitely order some parts
Thanks
Still waiting for someone to produce a reasonably priced SLA for Fox Mustangs. Just because there wasn't a market 10 years ago doesn't mean the demand isn't there now.
i got 65 stang, hope i can one day afford this
Hello, thank you for the great video. I was especially interested when you mention that modern day rubber and tire sizes don't necessarily need the Shelby drop. You mention 18 inch tires but what about 17's? If one did the Shelby drop anyway is it detrimental or just zero value add? Really curious. Saw some of your other things (including your Blue 1966 beauty) and plan to buy your leaf springs and potentially the front brace. My 1966 - figure 310 hp, 1 inch drop eibach progressive rate springs, roller spring perches, cheater upper control arm and roller lower arm. Based on those parts (not installed yet, just purchased) should I forgo the Shelby drop? Sorry for the long post, I am just fascinated by the technology and I see first hand you know the geometry of these. Thanks in advance....
This is a good question over pizza & beer! Honestly I think the practical guy would say, it really doesn't matter. The engineer would look close and take into consideration every detail, ride height being key, travel, what the real over all camber gain might be in the 1st inch and then in the next inch, and so on. I say, the Shelby drop in your story may be helpful for a little more travel in the shock. No harm doing it-
Future reference**
#1 most important, BUY good rubber/largest you can manage, #2 make sure you have travel in the suspension, #3 solid spring and shock package (GAS/Shocks), #4 everything rotates smooth, free of interference and easy... all else is good beer & pizza chat- C Maier
@@maierracing558 You are awesome...Pizza and Beer ? Other than bacon, what could be finer ? LOL.... much appreciated...one of my strengths is I "Measure twice, cut once"...meaning I research the heck out of things and I am not cheap but not a guy who spends for no reason...so your leaf springs for example...I could buy for half that but I am convinced there is more value in what you offer. Again my thanks...should be in touch soon for some advice and some ordering...Thanks
The leafs genuinely work. The products that are 1/2 the price are not providing a solution, they are replacing stock springs. @@arcorob
@@maierracing558 I have to share...this is my restore...13 months, all done by me (including paint) and I have never done a car restore before...so this is why she is worth the extra I am planning...Hope you enjoy the pictures - onedrive folder

@@arcorob did you install the Maier Racing suspension?
You do just mustang or do you make a kit for 1964 ford fairlane?
was wondering the same thing I also have a 64 fairlane. I Would really like to do this kit on it
Charles..quick question. 1966 Mustang. New suspension, Shelby drop, 1" lowered progressive rate eibach springs, roller spring perches. Street use performance - Q: Toe in or toe out ? So many schools of thought but I am going for best most effective handling ...thoughts ?
Toe .... Not really a perfect answer here. Toe in helps high speed stability. Toe out helps with carving the corner entry. I lean towards 1/16" Toe out. We run as much as 1/8" toe out for our race cars but we accept the tire wear as a bi-product and sincerely don't see speeds over 100 mph for long.
@@maierracing558 Thank you - I will have to think on this. I don't plan on tracking the car so I am leaning toward toe in ( not really looking to carve any corners but want a good solid feeling ride) ..Again my thanks !!
Zero... or NO TOE is also perfectly ok... In your case, perhaps zero... @@arcorob
Will that bolt into 61 Comet , which is the same as Falcon
Sincerely, not sure. I have not done it. You can try my brother's shop. He has played with the Comets... Mike Maier Inc, Livermore, CA
Mike is a really good driver.
Wrong company. Mikes company is Mike Maier Inc.
Will one of these work in a 1960 falcon?
To be honest... I am not sure. Tom at Delta Bay Mustang in Brentwood, CA may know what crosses over better than I do.
@@charlesmaier2509 ok thank you!
do your product work o 68-69 ford Torino fastbacks?
Perhaps we should know but, sincerely, no clue... Charles
What is the price on this one?

Hey mike I’m a fab shop in Louisiana
I’m building Max’s 66 mustang
He bought all of his suspension from you
We have his 66 in a rotisserie
That I built getting the bottom
Cleaned up and sand blasted
I’ve built a ton of mustangs
This is a first for your suspension I’m hoping I can post a video of the build on my channel
Mike has his own business. Do you mean him or Maier Racing?
