Show me your coil over setup


Anyone and everyone who has a NE, get your asses in here and show off your girl sporting and form of coil over suspension. Front, rear, front and rear, I don't really give a shit. I just want something to look at when I am feeling horny. Just kidding. But seriously, I am contemplating saving for either a front setup or the full setup.

I would like to know what shocks/struts you are running, how low you run then for DDing and how low they are capable of running. Also how low each brand can go. And if you wouldnt mind, where you bought and how much you have into your setup.

Thanks and let the sexy times begin.

Just pics of the car. A lot of angles. I found this kit browsing Ebay. NEX Coilover Ford Mustang 99-04 SN95 FULLY ADJUSTABLE : eBay Motors (item 390177058171 end time Apr-29-10 20:37:41 PDT)

Looks cheap. Haha.

UPR seems like pretty good quality, eh? I seriously am going to do this if I can get rid of a few things...

What is the cheapest shock and strut I could run with the UPR kit? Could I run the Koni STR T or whatever they are? They are very reasonable. But I thought it says on the UPR website that Lakewoods can only be ran with them?

they said that you can use any shocks/struts with their kit.

call them up tomorrow.

Honestly it's not like american muscle where you have to hold on the line for someone to answer. UPR is a big company but it's like calling a small business. You dial their number and a tech guy answers immediately, no holding required or automated messages.

I'm 100% sure they'll work, but call anyways.

Hmm, well if you say they work, I trust you. But I was wondering what the best application in the $350 and under range would best fit me driving needs for shocks/struts. I DD my car for the most part. I like to corner sometimes but I am really after a wicked low stance that still rides nice. I like a softer ride rather than firmer. Not super soft, but just so it doesnt clunk over every bump in the road.

are you using stock c/c plates and shocks/struts?

I don't think you can use these coilovers w/out aftermarket c/c plates, the stock whatever-they-are's cant hold the weight.

I suggest 4 bolt c/c plates.


and i'm probably gonna get the front's first, then the rears after just to save some cash.

All I want to add is don't cheap out on suspension parts...buy a coilover kit, that's name brand, and has positive reviews, etc.

Well UPR isn't exactly "c heaping out", is it? I mean I know they're not H&R or Eibach or KW or anything, but I think they're better then the ones I posted from Eaby.
