64 front suspension
I'm going to update my front suspention by replacing the crossmember and putting a IFS package. 1. I saw a couple options for IFS and steering packages on Helix and would like a couple other sources for parts. 2. I see everyone who does this boxes in their frame, I think for support? 3. Has anyone else done this and has advise and or pictures? Thanks

You can also do the Jaguar clip swap. Its similar to the CV swap if a few key ways. Namely in that it is a K-member, and can almost just be bolted in.
It allows 15 inch rims, a 4 inch drop stock, near stock track width, and decent disk breaks.

I was thinking of putting on a double wish bone suspention with an new crossmember. Is there an advantage to the k member other than its bolts on?

Not really any big difference I am aware of with out seeing the competing set-ups.
The CV is a heavy car thusly suited to light duty trucks such as a F150.
The Jag is no light weight, and offers decent breaks for cruising/light work.

TO REPLY TO YOUR QUESTION ARE THEIR ADVANTAGES TO THE CROWN VIC SETUP, THERE ARE, LARGE ROTORS DBL PISTON CALIPERS AND ALL PARTS DESIGNED FOR THE WEIGHT OF A HEAVIER MOTOR AND THE STOPING CAPABILITY ALSO, ITS AND ALL FORD SETUP WITH A LARGE SELECTION OF PARTS THAT WONT BREAK THE BANK OR BE HARD TO AQUIRE, ANY PART FACT.
