Tein makes a quality IMPORT suspension. Do not put them on your ride. Browse :SNSign: for the most common suspension setups. I'm not the biggest fan of the wheels but they do look good on your car.

Yeah that's kinda what I was thinking about tein. I know everyone on here likes eibach and h&r. I don't think I would really want the sportlines cause I read all sorts of stuff about how they have inconsistent drop. However I do like the stance that the h&r ss gives... So if I don't like it with the isolators out I will probably go that way

Your friends are right about the coil-over kit, but I've only ever seen a kit for Honda/Acura using Tokico shocks. There are coilover kits for Mustangs using Bilstein and Koni shocks, just nothing I know of that uses Tokico's and will fit on a Mustang.

There is nothing wrong with Tein springs if you can get them in the right spring rate, diameter, and length. Which is the issue with using them on a Mustang. Tein hasn't done anything to make this easy for you, while other companies such as Eibach, H&R, etc. have done the research and make Mustang-specific products. Tein doesn't list anything for pre-05 Mustangs.

Those are really nice kits, but as I said earlier if you aren't auto-xing your car you'd be plenty happy with the stance as well as the everyday ride & handling with a nice set of shocks/struts and some H&R springs

I've got tokico d specs on it right now i don't know if it would work or not I probably wont end up goin that way. That kit is like 350 or whatever and thats just for the front. I'm still workin my way through college and don't really wanna spend that much lol. I should be taking out the isolators tomorrow morning so hopefully that will be enough to hold me over for a while. lol
