Our Independent Front Suspension (IFS) system for your AMC is designed to provide exceptional control, stability, handling, safety and performance, bringing your American muscle car into the new millennium. Designed in-house on the most advanced SolidWorks CAD systems, our AMC IFS systems are eager performers that release unsprung weight while increasing the torsional rigidity of the front end. Lighter, stronger and more precise than the stock suspension, these systems are as much at home on the road as they are on the strip, autocross or road race courses. After installation, servicing your suspension and steering components is much easier. This system is a true bolt-in system, complete from hub to hub. NOTE: Designed for use with factory exhaust manifolds. Aftermarket exhaust headers will require modification (welding & fabrication) to fit this system. This system requires Wilwood front disc brakes (included - see configuration options during checkout)

- Exceptional bump steer geometry, more caster and camber adjustment
- Adjust vehicle ride height for a period-correct nose-down rake
- Adjust shock compression & rebound for custom soft, medium, or firm ride quality
