Craig Powell - XY Falcon Ute
The RRS rack n pinion is a good quality unit, and fitment to the vehicle is spot on like it was meant to be there. The vehicle now is more pleasurable to drive, easier to handle with the power steering. Very happy with the outcome and would highly recommend.

I have been very impressed with the performance of my RRS suspension and brakes. The car sits very flat through corners and feels firm and stable at speed with no front end bounce so typical of old suspension. The brakes pull up firm and swiftly. The overall feel is one of safety and stability.

The RRS rack and power steering combined with the coil over front end and phase 3 brakes make it a pleasure to drive. I can confidently drive into corners knowing that it will hang on. Even at 140mph the car feels firm and solid with no lift or front end issues.

Richard Fletcher UK - 69 Mach 1 Mustang
Richard here in the UK. Sorry haven't sent you update sooner. Anyway I have included some photos of the RRS suspension installation. Brief rundown if you hadn't noticed already, the shell is an original 69 Mach1 Cobra Jet but I have put a 70 front on it. The stripes and mach1 on the side and bonnet are all under the lacquer.

Installing the suspension was a doddle with easy to follow instructions. It was a pleasure to fit. At the moment I am installing a Painless wiring loom, it too is so easy.

Brute Force Racing
When you have the enviable job of piloting over 700 horsepower down the quarter mile, you want to know that you have the best components available when attempting to get that power to the ground.

That's why the Brute Force Racing chose the RRS front coil-over strut suspension system, along with RRS reinforced lower control arms, allowing us almost unlimited adjustment to our front suspension, along with the confidence that comes from using quality parts designed for our application.

As utilizing every possible horsepower is vital, we also fitted the RRS strut notching kit, to allow us the longest possible primaries on the custom built extractors, and to allow amazing access to both the extractors and spark plugs. It has taken us more than two years to get our new car built and ready for its debut at WSID, and in a sport where the visual impact of the car can sometimes be just as important as its performance, the RRS system fits right in with the quality that everyone involved with our car has put forward in their efforts in the design and construction, and the fit, finish and engineering presentation of the RRS products is second to none.

Brute Force Racing is proud to be associated with Revelation Racing Supplies and would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone looking to construct a quality race car with quality components. The knowledge held by the company's staff along with its large network of dealers both here and overseas, allows peace of mind when traveling around the country competing at Australia's various racing locations.

Garvin (Gar) March - 69 Mach 1 Mustang
I finally got to bring the mach 1 home! Still have to get the interior put back together, but have been running it a little (weather permitting) and it is wild! It pulls hard off the line, stays flat in the curves (thank you RRS for the front suspension and steering upgrades!) and when I start it up babies cry and dogs howl!

To my friends at RRS, I wanted to let you know how happy I am with your Phase 3 kit. What a high quality and great looking piece of equipment! The engineering of the components and excellent instruction manual made the installation on my ’69 Mach 1 go extremely smoothly, even for a novice mechanic like me! The same holds true for the RRS rack and pinion steering kit I installed.

I can’t wait to get the car finished and on the ground so I can put these parts through their paces.

I would also like to thank you guys for your follow up and help both before and after the purchase. Tony Gentilcore, the online dealer I worked with, really took the time to make sure I got the right set-up for my car and then remained in constant communication with me both during the sale and after to answer any follow-up questions and make sure I was satisfied. I feel like I have been dealing with friends, not just a business.

I really can’t say enough positive things about my experience with the RRS products or the people. If any of your potential customers have any questions, send them my way!

Nathan Kay - Ford LTD
Just wanted to write you a quick note to say thank you for supplying such a well engineered front suspension kit, and providing fantastic after sales assistance with my questions. It is literally the only item I have ever bought that has 'bolted straight in'.

After buying the Phase 2 kit from you in 2003, I finally have my LTD up and running, albeit with the stock clevo until I build the new motor. I ran the car for the first time at Willowbank last week, the car ran dead straight and had no shortage of brakes at the end of the 1/4. Best time that night was mine with a 13.4 @ 100 mph.

 

Stuart Beard - 66 Mustang Fastback A code
Back in Feb 2006 I purchased a 66 fastback A code GT which had just been imported from the states. The car had recently been painted in the states so the exterior was in near perfect condition and the interior was also spot on except for the carpet. Mechanically it was a different story, the 289 had some modifications done to it but it was in need of a tuneup and the suspension, brakes and running gear including the 4 speed toploader all needed freshening up. After hunting around and talking to people about rear disk brake kits and suspension upgrades I also decided to go to RRS. The Online Dealer gave me a great package deal.

I have installed their phase 2 front strut and brake kit, rear brake kit 1 and the left hand drive power rack and piion kit. All the running rear was remove with the gearbox and diff having a overhaul ready for installation. The motor was removed and put to one side with a new stroker engine being installed complete with alloy heads roller cam etc good for 420hp. The engine bay was sandblasted and repainted complete with all new wiring etc to complete the job.

Finally I have installed a set of coys wheels 17 x 7 up front and 17 x 8 on the rear. Having the flexibility of set up on the front end has been great so the car now sits approx 3 “ lower than stock.

The car is a pleasure to drive and is driven every week and I must agree with your story on the coupe, fitting the RRS equipment was the best decision I made and because it just bolts into all the existing mounting holes anyone can easily put the old parts back in.

Greg Vogel - 65 Mustang Super Snake
I can't tell you how much I enjoy driving the car. Wether it's a smooth drive strait down the Interstate Freeway or taking tight corners going through the mountains on a winding two lane highway. It handles just like a brand new car. As a matter of fact I would say it handles almost as good as my 03' BMW 330XI all wheel drive. The suspension is wonderful and the steering is unmatched compared to other rack and pinion systems I've driven with. The front and rear brakes are great, and with 500 ponies under the hood I definitely need the stopping power.

I would, and have recommended the RRS suspension, braking and steering system to anyone wanting that new car driveability and safety in their old muscle car.

Thanks for helping make my dream machine what it is today!

Walter John Bailey - 66 Shelby GT350 FB ITP 289
I have just returned from a 2,000 mile trip from Sydney to Melbourne, then by boat to Devonport, around the island of Tasmania and a return boat trip from Devonport to Sydney with 22 other Mustang vehicles with 48 occupants in total. What a marvelous event and driving a 40 year old vehicle but with completely modern underpinnings. The work carried out by you to my vehicle was the full RRS front strut suspension, rack and pinion power steering, and the pilot build of three-link coil over rear suspension with its built in anti-dive, anti-squat characteristics for maximum traction and a 4 wheel disc brake system (330mm front and 315mm rear) along with specially modified offsets of 18" ROH modular wheels (7.5" fronts and 8.5" rears).

Wherever we travelled this car was always the centerpiece of attention over the remaining 21 vehicles no matter whether in cities, towns, and shopping centre carparks or on the boat. Everyone was drawn to the "modern" look over the classic look of the past. Even for a photographic article in the local Devonport newspaper the journalist preferred this vehicle right at the front, with my wife and I holding keys for the photo.

Through such changes the driving of the vehicle has been transformed from the 1966 era to that of a modern vehicle. The ease by mechanics to adjust the suspension and steering geometry and ride control systems over the older system. The flexibility of ride heights. By trialing adjustable Koni shocks front and rear we have achieved a level of comfort not previously considered possible using 18" wheels. There is now no shudder through the steering feeling every pothole. The vehicle does not wander following the ruts and potholes. It corners more stably and securely and builds confidence to take the following corners even more quickly. The secure feeling of being able to stop more ably and corner faster with the wider wheels and obviously the more modern tyre construction.

I also appreciate using my vehicle in your magazine advertisements as there are many familiar with the vehicle from such ads, who stop me to ask their questions even on the island of Tasmania.

Todd Keen - ZC Fairlane
My ZC enjoys a complete suite of RRS products including Phase 2 Strut and Brakes, shock notch kit (to give room for my custom extractors to let the big block breathe), manual Rack and Pinion for precise steering and the RRS 9" disc brake conversion. The impact is remarkable, with what is a fairly heavy car feeling much lighter and more direct, steering and turning accurately. The front and rear brake combination ensures it pulls up hard and straight consistently.pulls up hard and straight consistently.

With the new, lighter, Molycarbide rotors on their way I hope to lower my ET from the recent PB of 10.28 and will rely on them to slow me down from over the 130 MPH I achieved on this pass. My experience with RRS and W.A. Suspensions has been very positive with all their claims now verified in reality. I can enjoy my ZC more than ever before, whether on the strip or on the road, where it is fully street legal. - Todd, W.A.

John Hogan - XP Falcon Tudor
To the RRS family, I have owned an XP. Ford Falcon Tudor for 25 years and during that time have had endless problems replacing tie rod ends and numerous idler arms etc, even a new draglink would not solve the original steering problems associated with this type of motor vehicle. I installed a rack steering system from another manufacturer and when I went for a wheel alignment I was told to take it away as the bump steer was excessive. I met RRS at a car show where they had their steering systems on display and I ordered a Power rack steering system for my XP Falcon.

Once it was installed I contacted an RTA approved engineer who said that the bump steer was well within specifications. The improvement over the original steering system was unbelievable, it was light and very precise to steer, and as a bonus no more idler arms or bushes, the steering is so good my wife wants to drive the car again. "Well done" to all the gang at RRS.

Bill Wilkerson - 66 Mustang
The RRS coil over strut suspension is much smoother and more responsive than even the lowered, improved original style. My car was equipped with manual rack and pinion before the suspension changeover, but with the RRS struts, I can feel an obvious improvement in handling and decrease in steering effort...

The RRS kit was so easy to install and has performed so well that I am very happy to have selected it for my N2 Flames car and look forward to using RRS products on my wife's 1965 Mustang Convertible restoration.

Hey just wanted to say my car is just great to drive thanks to RRS it really handles like a late model Falcon, and the kit was so easy to fit. I'm really looking forward to getting the rear disc brake kit. Bellerive, Tasmania

Scott Bailey - Mustang Fastback
Following the installation of RRS Strut and Brake Conversion Kit and Rack and Pinion Kit I have noticed the difference in the ride and handling characteristics immediately.The car is just a pleasure to drive. I am no longer having to concentrate as much on steering or braking when driving. The suspension is still firm but absorbs bumps and coarse road surfaces much better and I'm not having to dodge every single hole in the road. The steering is that more exact. Before my car would feel as though it would wander but the new RRS system doesn't seem to do that, and where going around corners fairly hard before created understeer I find now that it takes a lot more effort to get any understeer. The tyres feel like they are in full contact with the road at all times. I have also noticed a dramatic improvement in braking over my original Kelsey Hayes discs. Overall I feel much more confident in my cars abilities and just enjoy the driving experience that much more. Thanks for all your help. I couldn't recommend your products more highly.

Bruno Garbeis - ZD Fairlane
Dear Angela (RRS) Once again I put pen to paper in appreciation of (stage 2) work performed to my ZD Fairlane. I called it (stage 2) as previously you fitted RRS Strut and the result in handling and braking was unbelievable. Now by having the RRS Rack & Pinion power steering fitted I can actually feel the road and the response is so precise that it's like driving a new modern motor car.

Both of these modifications have improved the handling and braking of this old girl to a modern, new car status and most importantly, it has improved the overall safety factor of my Fairlane, it's a joy to drive.

I have no hesitation in recommending these modifications to anyone that is looking for better performance for their motor car Thanks once again
