Gentleman,

The mustang badly needs a suspension upgrade and a lower stance. I have 17" FR500 that have beefy tires, so I dont want to drop too low. I'm fine with 1.2" in front and 1" in the rear..... I am looking at these 2 kits on LMR and just wanted some insight on what you guys think, and if anyone has had any good or bad experiences with these products. Lastly, the Fox will be an alsmot daily driver....whenever my son isn't with me. Its slow as hell, and im not worried about drag racing. I want a comfortable ride and not have to tense up when hitting a pothole or railroad tracks....

I am leaning towards this kit. Koni shocks/struts, eibach springs, and comes with CC plates for $740

Originally I was going to go with Eibach through and through, (especially prefer black), but I would still need to grab CC plates if I get this kit.

I don't care for either kit. The SVE has good shocks and struts, but Chinese knock off springs and CC plates.

The Eibach has good springs but no CC plates and the shocks and struts can be a little harsh.

You can get the Steeda Sport springs from LMR for $209
Koni SRT.Ts kit for $338
and MM CCs for $209

That's about $750 for a better combo (in my opinion anyway)

Pick up some new isolators while you're at it.

Also use LMR1776 to save 7%

I have no desire to put any SVE or in-house brand parts on my car. I'd prefer to piece a kit together.

Eibach, steeda or H&R springs, with either Koni, Tokico or Bilstien shocks and then MM caster camber plates only.

yeah, no I refuse to use SVE anything, especially when you talk about suspension and longevity

I just went through all of this myself,most opinions were the Eibach pro spring and strut kit rode kinda rough. The Eibach sports are too low for me so instead of a kit I pieced the Koni orange with the Eibach pro's and Maximum Motorsports cc plates. Is this the greatest combo ever? probably not, but it fit my budget, they are of good quality and fit what I do with the car. If I ever finish I'll let you know how it works out.

I've always liked eibach. I'm going with that exact setup you mentioned above, onoy difference is I may look into steeda as well. but the koni and the MM CC plates works for me.

I myself went with so many combo's in my head, Steeda, H&R and Eibach, with Strange, Koni, Bilstein,Tokico and then finally made a decision since father's day had a 7% off code at LMR.
