So researching a little bit it looks like there may be some options for a suspension kit for the Chevy Luv but I wanted to get some input from you guys. The Mustang II kit looks like it works but there are some modifications. What have you done that works well?

Cheapest route is to have the stock rotors drilled through a member here, and do a coil over conversion. Or do the coil overs and Aerospace brakes. You basically end up similar to the mustang set up, but you retain the strut rods is all, and they aren't in the way, or that heavy...

So if I do go with a mustang 2 front end where is the best place to source the parts?

So who is the member that drills out the rotors?

I have the redrill jig now. I am not doing any at the moment. I am looking to buy a couple sets of hubs and then to a exchange deal. I can’t commit to a quick turn around so working on a exchange deal.

I have decided to go with a mustang II front end. I am not 100% sure which kit to go with. Definitely want quality but also something that will fit with as few modifications as possible. Would rather go with something I put together myself instead of a weld in or bolt in setup. Anyone that has done this and was happy with the kit you got please post a link.

Also is it worth it to put in a rack instead of keeping the stock steering?
