coilovers on a fox

[NJSPEDSTANG5.0]

i have an 88 gt w/ t tops and i was seeing in online the coilover kits and i got to thinking how now all the weight of the car would now be on the shock mounts i wasnt sure if the shock mounts where able to handle all that or not... does anyone else have the coilover kit to let me know how it worked for them??? thanks guys

I installed UPR coilovers two months ago. You need caster/camber plates with coilovers. You can't have wide front tires or they will rub.

They are very easy to install and to adjust your height.

I have had the MM front coilover kit for Bilstein shocks for abput three years. They are great. No noise, great ride quality, superior build quality. I actually just bought the rear kit this past week. Again they quality is great. I can't wait to get them installed to have totally adjustable ride height.

If you are up for a bit of reading on the subject, I suggest you go to the coilover page on the Maximum Motorsport website. It's not just MM propaganda, it actually explains how the loads are transfered in the mUstang front geometry.

I have the D&D Motorsports coil-over kit in the front, they rub on my 17x8's a tad bit.

my upr coil overs clear my 17x9's just fine. ride is pretty good, they do make a little noise though. the ride is pretty good now that the car has decent stuts and subframe connectors.

MM coilovers up front with SN95 spindles and 17X8's with 255's. No rubbing.

Ride is great, no noise, great handling.

What wheels, or more importantly what backspacing?

I've heard from numerous people that coilovers are a harsh ride for a daily driven fox, is this true???? I would be running skinnies up front.
