Best Coilover setup for a '94 GT Stang?

highspeed · 04-20-2008, 01:23 PM

I'm looking for information from anyone who has used a coilover setup with respect to the good and the bad.

One thing I must make you all aware of is the application, and that is for mainly street use and cornering. I would like to find a configuration that is truly built as a coilover instead of using a coilover kit for shocks struts that were not born that way.

The more information and first hand experiences the better... So let me here from ya... again!!!

you get what you pay for. I have had one off the reasonably priced ones and it was LOUD.

get Max Motorsport CC plates with a sphericle bushing and Maximum motorsports coilovers. you will be happy. If you are in the market for a tubular k as well, i would get the whole setup from MM. They will discount the more you purchase from them

That is what I have on the rally car. Seems to work well.

What is your spring rating and what struts are you using?

Bilstein struts. Right now the front springs are 14" at 550 pounds and the rears are also 14" but at 250 pounds. I am in the process of changing out the fronts as the struts may be bent and I am also installing 450 pound springs to get rid of understeer. At least I hope it is reduced.
