I have had Eibachs on several of my cars but not on the mustang.... yet. I have been very pleased with them in the past. They aren't on my car yet because I am leaning toward a coil over set up. When you do your springs you will see what bushings need to be replaced. I did all of my bushings at once. If i had to do it again, I would get the prothane kit. All you have to do is drill the rubber out in your old bushings and whack the prothane units into your original bushing shells. A lot of people use a torch but that made a big mess when I tried it.
Good luck. Ryan, loved the money sucking option that your turbo has in one of those pics. The neighborhood in those pics made me miss the east coast a little. I am from the Philly area. |

For one, you can't go cheap on struts/shocks when you go coilover. Plan on at least $400 for dampers alone. Kits aren't too bad, but still significantly more than just replacing springs and shocks. I *believe* you also need to get CC plates when you coil-over, so there's another $200. I'd look here: Maximum Motorsports :: The Leader In Mustang Performance Suspension

I dont mind spending the extra money. I mean my thing is im planning on spending close to 1000 for the springs shocks and strust so a set of coilovers according to that site with a front kit 400 and a rear kit 400 is all I would need. I dont need to purchase the springs strust just the coilover kit with springs or am i misunderstanding? I dont want to spend a fortune but if ive got 750-1000 I want to try to get the most out of it.
