I'd sell the entire springs/struts/shocks. Struts/shocks have less than 4000 miles on them. Springs I'm not sure on mileage. He had car for only a couple years and installed them himself. Pm me if interested. I haven't removed them yet but will be shortly

To be honest I was told they were the sport lines. They were already on the car. I did put the eibach pro kit struts/shocks on it in '12. I have no problems with them rubbing other than if there is someone in the back seat and you go over a significant t dip. I'm running 275/40/17 Nittos. The overall ride is stiffer than stock(good and bad). Handling is way better than stock but a little harsh imo. They suck at the Dragstrip. Other than these/stock and the old 70/30's Ive no expierience with spring rates. I am going coilovers with strange adj struts/shocks. Otherwise I'd keep this combo. I liked it for the street and curves.

Coilovers? EEK! Hope you have good roads with no washboard or shotty patch jobs because the "affordable" coil over kits chatter a lot. I got scared away from them and didn't want to invest the $$ on a MM kit. The higher end kits have torrington bearings that help eliminate the chatter.

I had eibach pro's and kyb, new setup will keep rear pro's/kyb and front 300lb coil overs ... if 5liter is offering a good deal you should PM him

only reason for my change is new MM k member and a arm.... the ability to tune height, ride and improve handling is really a big draw for coilovers and tubular a arms....

On my car I have Steeda springs, steeda unjust able uppers, steeda lower control arms, steeda adjustable rear sway bar, steeda front sway bar, MM c and c plates, Komi adjustables. All said and done this is the best set up I've had on 13 mustangs. Firm good ride quality handles awesome no clearance issues with a 295 tire. My friend is 315lbs his car rubs with just him on bumps my car doesn't budge. I can't be happier, and I think the stance is pretty nice.

Agree with the BBK I had them years back and thought they were horrible, I actually took them out and went stock for awhile.

Front and rear Bear brakes, I had to do a manual brake upgrade due to the size of my cam. All MM parts with cobra 1" master. Even with a vac booster I couldn't build enough to stop this car properly
