[QUOTE="Warhorse Racing, post: 1502147, member: 23098"] One of the things I focus on in my videos is the fact that you don't need coil-overs to build a capable Mustang. None of my cars have coil-overs, and I only use my cars for autocross, so they see very limited street use. I'm happy to offer advice, but it's a good idea to get suggestions from people who use coil-overs on cars they use daily. The first thing to determine is the source of the noise. My suspension has NVH, but there aren't a lot of sharp noises or rattles. That would indicate something being loose or worn out. Make sure everything in your current setup is working properly and torqued to spec. Most of the people I know who purchase inexpensive coil-overs aren't happy with the performance. When it comes to ride quality, struts, shocks and springs are key, even when you're just driving around town. Personally, I think having some measure of adjustability in the shocks & struts is always the best option. For your application, DA shocks & struts might be overkill, but SA shocks & struts will help add comfort. In all honesty, I do know people who have been happy with non-adjustable Bilstein shocks & struts with coil-overs on their street cars (but I have relatively good roads in my area). A big part of the decision to go with coil-overs comes down to conversations you have with the company prior to the purchase, and the customer support after the purchase. An entry-level coil-over kit from a "top-tier" company has the added benefit of their knowledge and support. I know many people who have had good experiences with Maximum Motorsports coil-overs.
