Since the first car rolled down the road, it has been a never-ending pursuit by car enthusiasts to improve their vehicle's stance and braking power. Rodders have always led the pack in this arena, but with nostalgia bigger than it's ever been, many companies are now offering pieces to optimize stance and stopping while still maintaining a vintage look. Two leaders in the production of modern nostalgia suspension components are Chassis Engineering Inc. and MT Car Products. Both of these companies were called upon recently when the mission was to upgrade a totally stock '29 Model A Tudor Sedan that was in desperate need of dropping and stopping improvements.
When the pieces arrived from both companies the quality was exact to the high standard both companies are known for. The desired outcome was to combine the new parts with original pieces to make a timeless installation you could have seen under a well-heeled rod 50 or 60 years ago. The final result is a car that now sits a whopping 9 inches lower in the front and stops and rides almost like a new car.
If you have a ride you would like to improve, yet keep that vintage look, check out what Chassis Engineering Inc. and MT Car Products have to offer--guaranteed you'll be very glad you did.
