[QUOTE="Mustang5L5, post: 1566388, member: 30520"] I have the full Max Motorsports catalog on my Foxbody. Should be similar though. MM is unique in that when other companies go right to a rear coil-over setup, MM tries to keep the rear conventionally sprung. I run coil-overs up front, but conventional setup out back. For the front, i'm only running 250# springs and this is pretty darn good in terms of balancing handling with street manners with Bilstien shocks and struts. If i could go back i would maybe go a little firmer at 275#. But according to MM, I wouldn't want to go to rear-coil-overs until i exceed 325# front springs, which i don't plan on doing. To match the adjustability of the coil-overs, i run the adjustable control arms out back, which allows me to lower the car down to match the front. MM helped me pick a coil-spring for the rear to match the fronts in terms of spring rate and ride height. I also have their K-member, strut tower brace, subframe connectors, Panhard bar, control arms, etc. Also their recommended steering upgrades like bushings and steering shaft. Car feels like driving a go-kart, but still rides pretty well. [/QUOTE]
