I was talking to a friend of mine who has a VERY nice Mustang, and we were talking about suspension mods. I mentioned that I had been wondering about going coilover all around with a tubular K member and tubular A arms. He said I would hate how harsh the ride would be with all this since I prefer to drive it daily during the Spring/Summer.

You guys have any input?

Thanks,
Jared

The ride would be harsh, also if you got into a wreck your chances of death would be much higher since you would have removed most of the crash bracing such as the stock K.

That is 100% not true. I have a tubed K with tubular A arms, rod ends on all of the control arms, coilover on all 4 corners, and not a single piece of rubber in my suspension. My car rides very nice. So much better then stock. I use all adjustable shocks/struts so I can go from street setting to strip settings. The biggest plus is that my car does not rock at idle becuase of the huge cams.

my ride got alot better, when i swapped my front suspension out. handles better with lower rate springs too..

if you buy a nice chromoly k, your not forfeiting structural integrity.
