Heidts Superide II Independent Front Suspension Kits

Enjoy driving your fat-fendered cruiser with the smooth ride and handling of independent suspension. Heidts Superide II independent front suspension kits utilize a Mustang II spindle to allow for a front mount rack and pinion unit, making engine installation much easier. The upper control arms use threaded adjusters for the wheel alignment. Unlike eccentric adjusters, they will never slip or lose alignment when hitting bumps in the road. Dozens of packages are available for applications from 1935 and up. Components include: * Heidts 3-piece crossmember * Mustang II stock spindles * Tubular upper and lower control arms * Front disc brake kit with 11 in. diameter brake rotors and 4-piston brake calipers * Manual rack and pinion steering, front mounted * Billet single adjustable coilover shocks with silver powdercoated springs
