Hi Wahoo65,

I went through this with the E-M kit.

REAR:

The XKE wishbones are the narrowest. The 3.8S, 420 and the V12 XKE (Series III) also fit. I ended up with the 3.8S.

FRONT:

I still have some XKE front suspensions. I strongly recommend you look at the Mustang II, which is what I used mainly for ground clearance reasons. The XKE front suspension's torsion bars are run beneath the main frame rails and diminish ground clearance enough to be the lowest points on the car. The MII doesn't cause this problem.

What frame are you using?

Tom
