Its just a basic set up for now...Well my shock, struts and springs are getting squeeky now going over bumps and I look like i am ready to hit the dirt trails so i am saving up for a suspension/handling kit.

I was thinking:

These bilstein shocks and struts:

These H&R Super Sport Springs (but i am not sure if it is too low):

http://stangsuspension.com/store/comersus_viewitem.asp?idproduct=243

and these caster/camber plates:

http://stangsuspension.com/store/comersus_viewitem.asp?idproduct=478

I also have MM full length subframes sitting around in my basement...

Let me know what you think...and also what is the real difference between the MM Valved Bilsteins and the ones I posted?

Also should I stay away from 3 bolt caster camber plates if I come across them or stick with 4 bolt ones?

Thanks,

Dan

i can't comment on the bilstein but i have been seeing them more and more. i always thought they were just oem replacements, but i have notice a lot of road racing and auto-x guys using them.

i love the stance of my H&R super sport, but i run them with tokico 5 way adjustables, so i can't really say it will sit the same with bilsteins. sorry i don't have a pic of my stance, maybe i'll get off my ass today and get a pic.

the only way to run is with MM 4 bolt CC plates hands down.

You can probably get by without Bilsteins with the Super Sports, cause the spring rate isn't too high. I've got the 750/850 race springs from H&R and they are required for sure. I do believe that MM had Bilstien do a custom setup or something like that specifically for the H&R springs. Check out their website or better yet, give them a call and they will be very helpful as always.

I'd get those MM subs installed first thing........like even before you pay for your next meal. One of the great mods out there that's relatively cheap!

I just got the mm caster/camber plates so now i just have to make my decision on what I am getting for shocks, struts, and springs. See I want to do this right the first time so, I think I am going to go with the bilsteins and the H&R Super Sports that are for a Vert.

I got stock mach 1 shocks and struts from ford for about $180. I love them and would still would not pay extra for bilsteins.

I also have subframes, supersports, and mm cc plates.

I now know what I am doing...I found a place that sells Koni SAs for $541 shipped and I am going to get the H&R Super Sports for a 94-95 Vert.

I also just recieved these today from Kornut on SN95 Forums but I am guessing he is the same person over here.
