This provides a much stronger platform to build from, and is strongly recommended if you’ve made horsepower upgrades and are now looking to upgrade your brakes. Our Wilwood kits will mount directly on these, but you have to order the package for the 70-73 cars. Combined you’ll get a much stronger and more rigid design in a crucial area.

We prefer to use the disc brake spindle over the drum brake spindle. The disc brake allows the caliper to be mounted directly to the spindle, whereas the drum brake version requires an adapter.

We also strongly encourage the use of Pinto/Mustang II bearing spacers to help increase wheel spin and improve the longevity of your wheel bearings.

This spindle kit includes a pair of new forged disc spindles for your 67-70 Cougar.

Made from 2″ .120 wall round steel tubing, these 75″ connectors are longer than just about anything else available. Why? With subframe connectors, the goal is to grab as much chassis as possible to minimize flex and fatigue. These longer connectors weld to the body and frame in four locations, preventing them from pivoting on only two points. This significantly reduces the flex found in early unibody Cougars and stiffens the chassis overall, allowing the suspension to do the work. They closely contour to the floor of your Cougar to prevent any ground clearance issues.

These are only available as a weld in option. We have found that bolt in subframes pull at the thin metal underneath the car and aren’t nearly as effective as a true weld in solution. This also allows the subframe connectors to serve as future jacking points, preventing further damage to your frame rails or floor pan.

Available in both plain steel or powder coated, these subframe connectors are the ones you want for your Cougar.
