Question Mustang Suspensions on Donor Kits

OK I just ordered a B&B Donor Kit. No Suspension I would like to do my own. I would like to know is it a rule of thumb that any suspension part that would fit in a 89-93 GT Mustang would fit and work in my kit. Also for that matter for any kit?

The B&B donor kit is set up for a Mustang II front suspension and a FOX Mustang (87-93) rear suspension. So 87-93 Mustang rear suspension will work in your kit, but not the front.

FFR and Carcepts are the only kits I know of that are set up for '87-'93 front suspension.

I just got this from there site:
All of the suspension points are welded into place, ready for you to bolt-on your stock '74-'78 Mustang II front suspension, and the rear suspension points are welded into place, ready to accept your '79 or later 8.8" Mustang rear suspension.

isnt 74-78 the Mustang I suspension?

By the way nice kit you got. I didnt look into hunter but I like the roller package.

I have B & B. Order the aftermarket tubular "A" arms instead of
the stock mustang2 front parts. Eliminating the strut rod makes
a big difference in handling. Look on the web under Hot Rod, there are many companies making the "A" arms that will bolt right up.

If you can find a magazine called Street Rodder it will have all the ads for the parts you need. I ordered parts from 3 or 4 different ads in that magazine. Jim
