Would the be the best route to the most comfortable daily driving fox ? Or progressive rate springs and Monroe shocks
I've had a few sets of springs over the years.
Seems spring companies tend to lower the ride height then stiffen the hell out of them to get results.
My last set of coil springs where progressive rate saleen springs (made by eibach). When I switched the rears to H&R springs, they were drastically softer.
You know how when you hit any bump, it feels like you hit a 6 inch deep pot hole? With the front coil overs, that was gone.
MM stuff isn't going to come cheap. But rest assured if you follow their advice, buy their products and have rattles or noises, they will help you insure it's fixed. If you go with the cheaper coil overs and CC plates, my money says they rattle.

I'm running MM coilovers, bikstien front struts and rear shocks, and h&r rear springs. Worth every penny. No rattles at all from the front coil over setup. My car is the lowest it's ever been and rides great
MM has great advice. Listen to what they say vs slapping any shock and spring combo together. I've run a few of those slapped together combos and the car rode terribly.
It would ride pretty nice. Ultimately it's what do you want. And oem suspension will handle like and oem suspension. I'm not suggesting one is more "better" but it does depend on what you want.
Smooth ride to go grab a coffee on a Sunday AM? Go with nice fresh oem bushings, good shocks and tires rated for comfort
WAnt a sporty ride when blowing off steam on the off ramps in addition to a good ride? That's a different set of recommended parts.

I have 17in fr500 rims i have brand new 275/40/17 nitto nt 555 g2s on the rear and was planning to get a cheaper touring front set of tires and i plan to keep the car around same height def not lower then 1 inch. I like to race around do burnouts and just overall fox around i have 3.55 gears and a 94 tranny feels less aggressive then 3.55 and the 89 t5 i had in there (must have diff gears in tranny) i plan to keep same tranny and put an explorer rear end in there with the rear disk and 31 splines and 5 lug. I have to get a new motor because im loaned whats in it now from my dad and hes expecting it back so im gunna do a mild 351 build and might put an on3 turbo kit on it but thats bassically the whole build im planning for
Oh really will do some more research or if anyone knows morw abt it that would be amazing
Right so id wanna pull the axles n such that are 31 spline n get different housing
Axles are also useless. The pumpkin is offset so they are different lengths. Won't work in the Mustang housing
Really the only thing you can use is the 31-spline center diff.

My car as intended road rough as hell. My wife has a nerv issue and could not ride in it. I went to LMR and got stock 5.0 convertible springs, front and rear made by MOOG. I installed stock ford motorcraft shocks and struts. Ride is great, ride height is same and for me, it is still glued to the road. Just after I installed, I saw a new set of stock springs and shocks on market place, never installed for less than half I paid. No regrets and wife can now ride in car if it ever stops raining.
Hahahah realest
