Re: So I bought a Helix IFS kit...

I also ended up w/a Helix kit. Bought it blindly, and was delivered Helix. Had to get a 2nd set of upper's, but over all I'm pleased w/the kit. I'm mounting to a Speedway crossmember, which i suspect should be the same/similar to the Helix one. 2 things i am doing. 1st, changing the ball joints. 2nd, i added a brace to the rear of the lower control arm to take the stress off the crossmember. Not picking on helix, but it's a flaw in general Mustang II crossmembers that do not use the strut rod. To much unsupported stress on the crossmember can lead to a failure. This isn't mine, but you should get the idea of what i did.
