Lowering a 94 gt

It's all a matter of 1) preference, and 2) money.

If money were no consideration, I'd get H&R race springs for the rear, MM coil-overs for the front, and Bilstein shocks & struts.

Cheaper would be to skip the coil-overs and go with H&R's on the front too.

Cheapest would be the Ford Bullitt kit, which includes C-springs and Tokico shocks/struts. Not as much lowering as other aftermarket options.

well, I love my saleen suspension, if you want to see pics of the stance it has, heres my site http://www.cardomain.com/id/mustangmatt685 Page 3 has some good pics of the stance. It handles SO well, with some nice tires and this suspension ull be lovin life. I got the full kit with bushings and shocks and struts, caster/camber plates and all, its not too low, so i can push it, but low enough where you acn tell the stance was changed. PM me if you have any questions.

I just had my suspension redone over the past week. As mentioned above, I can say that this combo handles way better than stock and is fine for daily driving:

H&R Race Springs (1-1.25" drop, high spring rates)
Bilstein shocks/struts (worth every penny)
New Quad shocks (old ones had 135K miles)
Poly spring isolators (ride is now quiet)
front swaybar poly bushings
MM C/C plates (aligmnent now accurate)
MM Aluminum Steering Rack Bushings (tighter)
Rear pinion snubber (duh!)

I just got an alignment at a local shop (because it was bad before and only worse after the upgrade) and now it rides better than before. The steering is better than when new and the car simply rides straight as an arrow.

NO BUMPSTEER...........and I'm not kidding. I tested the car out on some roads I know well that are far from smooth and the car did not dart anywhere. Just soaked up each bump and kept going dead on straight. MM said this would be the case and I'm glad I didn't waste money on bumpsteer stuff for my particular setup.

That's my experience so far. Just added new 3.55 gears, speedo gear, aluminum differential, new waterpump, and replaced oil pan gasket. Now the car feels quicker, tranny feels smooth, car stays cool, and no more oil leaks! That's a lot to change at once, but OMG it was worth it.

Now I finally feel like I'm headed somewhere with my car.

Good luck.......and definitely do something!

I was just curious, do you guys recommend converting the rear suspension to coilover as well?

I'm pretty happy with my setup, coilover's front and rear.
