im sorry let me clarify, when i say mix and match i mean like using this upper contol arm with this other cars ball joint and this lower control arm from another car kind of thing going on. I like things that are made to be put together, where i dont have to spend massive amounts of time and money trying to get everything to work. As for the reason for a mustang 2 type front end the are a few different reasons. First and formost cost. Plain and simple you can get the full spindle to spindle with disc for under a grand if you shop right. Second parts availability. You gonna just run to kragen and get brake pads for your turbo brakes? you gonna pay under 30 bucks? no you wont granted turbo brake are better i really cant see the need for brakes of that caliber on such a light car I feel that its needlessly wasted money. You can get 13 in cobra brakes with calipers for under 500 dollars and those can haul a 3500 lb car down faster than my new gti which i feel brakes very quickly, not put that on a 1500 lb car more than adequate. Third sure the M2 suspension isnt all that special but when you think about easy of adjustabilty in caster camber and heigth and the availabilty of numerous types of coilovers it just makes sense. now as far as keeping it metric i think that is petty. Please justify how having to have a second set of wrenches should cost you thousands more. ANd lastly my belief is anything is better than the stock beam. Im not offroading so i have no reson to utilize probaly the only redeeming qulity of it and that is strength and the a arm will be more than adequate for what i want. Ive spent thousands on my car already and at this point the return on investment would be worse with any other setup in my opinion. Cutting th car up is trivial at this point i deced either this or a RLR full tube chassis and just drag race but i still wanna turn hence this set up. I agree with you on certain points but i have to disagree on others all in all i want to do is go fast Ive wasted far too much money being brand name and getting sub par results. And hey maybe your right maybe im thinking the wrong way about it but till there is a clear cut better alternative I think this one is good.
