Anyone familiar with this seller or have any first hand experience with his kit? He has excellent feedback on Ebay. http://www.ebay.com/itm/HEIDTS-1947...RUCK-MUSTANG-II-HUB-TO-HUB-/321713251816

The seller shows 1550 sales and a 100% positive feedback. I can't comment on the price, I just don't know but the seller seems to be on the up and up.

Opt for the power steering, drop spindles. | | | | | Joined: Mar 2008 Posts: 3,750 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Mar 2008 Posts: 3,750 | Looks like a pretty comprehensive kit for the money.
Tubular upper and lower control arms and a sway bar too.
I paid far too much for a basic MII,pressed stock arms,no sway bar etc here in the UK and it cost a lot more than that nearly ten years ago.

Does anyone know the track width of the Mustang II set up? Im finding conflicting info.

While some are what they seem, others are "heits" crossmembers and " miss matched controll arms ect. A buddy of mine bought a similar kit to the one your discribing, and did make it work, but had to redrill wholes after assembly to even get remotely close to alignment specs. Make sure all components are from the same manufacturers. I bought my Heidts kit from Speedway, for around 1400$ .....no problems

Lowering these trucks is all about "profiling" and not as much thought to other appearance issues and handling. Seller should give you track width measured by wms to wms (wheel mounting surface). Stock is around 56.5". Most (but not all) mustang ll kits use the same dimension. More often than not, this will give the front tires a sucked in look - which seems to be what most people settle for. Opting out of this look is possible, but often at a higher price point (like Scott's), look at all the manufactures & compare. | | | | | Joined: Jul 2016 Posts: 22 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Jul 2016 Posts: 22 | Thanks guys.
