Ok ...I screwed up in ordering and now I have MMR 12"-250lb Rear Coilover
with 3 way adj Drag Shocks from Comp Engineering and Maxium Motorsports
Rear Height Adj Lower Control arms. I was planning on going coilovers in the rear but couldn't pass on these MM LCA's.
My current set up is M/T 315 10.5 DR's, 3.73's, Eibachs Sport lines, UPR Upper and Lower non-adjustable control arms installed already. 31 Spline Superior axles and Frpp 31 spline differental are about to be installed.

I am trying to figure out if its going to be worth doing the MMR coilover kit with the UPR LCA control arms or go with the MM LCA's....and still use the C/E Drag shocks from the coilover kit. Maybe go with a rear drag spring an get rid of the Eibachs.

Any advice or experience is welcomed!

Opinions on LCA's with coilovers vs height adj LCA's with springs?

[TorqueO]

I have been leaning towards the MM height adj LCA's with the C/E 3 way drag shocks. Maybe using the Eibachs that are already there or find better rear springs.

I would keep the coilovers. From the susp gurus I gave talked all have said the best thing you can do for a mustangs rear susp is get the spring off of lca

[TorqueO]

ok, so springs on the LCA's are a no go and hurting the performance. Did they give a reason? This is something I would like to know as well.

Thanks

you arent going to like the shocks, you will have to remove them to adjust them

[TorqueO]

Ya that I know, I'm going to keep them at 50/50. I dont drive the Mustang much only on nice days, when I have time and to the drag strip.

[TorqueO]

Been looking for an answer the past few days and still up in the air.

Looks like to me that its based on these differences between the two:

Coilovers - are for handling and body roll but you can choose your spring rate which is real good

LCA's w/springs - Seems most people at the strips (from what I see in most peoples set ups) use the LCA's and have real good transfer of power to the ground

am I correct in saying this?

If I go with the LCA's and spring I would be looking into getting some fox body springs for a convertible....I have a convertible

This is what i run, but 4 cyl springs. I hook great. I will be fabricating my own coil over set up some time in the near future. You have more adjustments with a coil over set up.

I have this posted on a few other sites and only a handful of people have replied.
Seems there are no pros and cons, which is better, and it all comes down to the springs and what you prefer. I guess for weight savings, body roll, and road course people go with the coilovers?

Why is it that the springs should be off the LCA's?

[TorqueO]

Just going to run the coilovers...getting mix reviews on and no one really is explaining why this or why that...no big deal I guess. Figure spring rates would be easier to change and like SMS mentioned before so would the adjustments. Anyone want to buy some New MM Ex Duty hgt adt LCA's?
