Description
The Heidts Mustang II IFS System for the 1964–1965 Mercury Comet is a comprehensive suspension solution designed to replace the original, restrictive shock tower setup. This upgrade is a favorite among Comet builders because it transforms the car's handling characteristics while opening up the engine bay for a wider variety of high-performance powerplants.
Performance and Stance
Modern Handling: By moving to an independent front suspension with rack and pinion steering, the Comet sheds its original "floaty" feel in favor of precise, modern steering feedback and improved cornering stability.
Aggressive Profile: This kit comes standard with 2-inch dropped spindles, allowing you to achieve a lower center of gravity and a modern stance without sacrificing suspension travel.
Suspension Options: Builders can choose between stock-style shocks and springs for a comfortable cruiser feel or billet coil-over shocks for maximum adjustability in ride height and dampening.
Engineering and Engine Clearance
Shock Tower Removal: Replacing the factory suspension allows for the removal of the bulky internal shock towers. This is the single best modification for fitting wider engines like the 351 Windsor or modern Ford modular engines into the narrow Comet engine bay.
Control Arm Finishes: The kit features high-strength tubular upper and lower control arms, available in plain steel for painting/powder coating or stainless steel for a show-quality finish.
Precision Steering: The system includes a manual rack and pinion as standard to save weight and complexity, with a power rack upgrade available for easier steering in heavy-traffic or parking situations.
Kit Includes:
Crossmember: Heavy-duty weld-in unit specifically engineered for the 1964-65 Comet frame.
Control Arms: Tubular upper and lower arms (Plain or Stainless).
Spindles: 2-inch dropped spindles included as standard.
Steering: Manual rack and pinion (Power upgrade available).
Shocks & Springs: Your choice of stock shocks or adjustable billet coil-overs.
Available Options:
Front Sway Bar: An optional addition to further reduce body roll and improve the "on-rails" feel during cornering.
Inner Fender Panels: Specifically designed to fill the gaps left by the removed shock towers, providing a clean, professional look to the engine compartment.
Motor Mount Stands: Pre-fabricated stands to simplify the positioning and mounting of your engine within the new IFS crossmember.
