No pic but try MM, UPR, Griggs, and God only knows what else. I plan on UPR's and 4 cyl springs out back.
Look in the suspesion section...lotttsss of good info (and install) stuff in there.

Ok you kinda answered another one of my ?'s to.. Do most peeps just run coilovers in the front and springs in the rear?

Depends on your application. Im going to be straight line mostly so no rear coilovers for me.
NOt heard of to many pepole withrear coilovers though...

 

[Sn95Willis]

Yea I am going to be mostly straight line also.. I mean I will drive it on the street alot but not doing any corner carving or hauling ass...

Nice..you could do drag springs in the back as well....but from what I understand 4 cyl springs will work fine, and are cheaper...Also on the Spring Rate note it would be best to talk to the guys your ordering from on what rate to get...

I've had strange coilovers on my 96gt before .I didn't like them as they're making noises on every bump ond hole .I heard people have good luck with MM ones.

I'm running Maximum Motorsports front coilovers on my car paired with H&R springs in the rear. I have not had any problems with the front coilovers so far, but I've only had them on for just 8 months. I'm planning on going with Maximum Motorsports rear coilovers as well, as soon as the money allows it. Can't recommend anything for spring rates, because I don't drag race or know anything about seting the car up for such a thing. Here is a picture I whored out to hell.

You whore it out all the time because we love it R

 

[Sn95Willis]

K and another ? Do I have to have an after market K-member or can I run coilovers with a stock K-member?

 

[1996mustangGT]

Pretty sure you can run it with the stock K...I hope

 

[vermilion]

you can run coilovers with a stock k-member. i do recommend if you go to coilovers in the front to get caster/camber plates and fully adjustable. if you dont youll have sloppy front end shimmys and uneven tire balding.

 

[Sn95Willis]

Ok do I have to change stuts and shocks or can i use the stockers for a little bit?

 

[Matt94GT]

I have MM ones as well and love them #325 springs. IMO the cheapest way to go is MM, there are cheaper sets out there UPR, Griggs but ive heard only bad things about them.

 

[Sn95Willis]

Anyone know if I have to change shocks or struts or if I can use stock for a lil while??

 

[1quk50]

i would go with upr 175 spring rate for drag racing.. and upr also has a rear coil set that you have to buy and shock cause it wont fit over the stock ones in the back.. tahts what i would go with..

 

[Goindeafonmtx]

You can't run stock shocks and you must run an aftermarket caster/camber plate, preferably on of 4 bolt design.

 

[Sn95Willis]

Ok that answers my ? then. I will go with springs all the way around cause I dont want to spend 500 bux right now..

 

[94 DropTop]

good choice. You dont really need to do anything with the rears if you just want to pick up a set of used front. Buying a full set like the steeda, ford racing, or eibach drag springs would be good though.

wish i had coilovers!
