I am buying the Rear Coil Over Kit (79-04 Mustang Maximum Rear Coil Over Kit Silver) for my 1991 LX Vert. I have two questions:
1). Are there any instructions/helpful tips posted for this install?
2). Do I have to remove my stock coil springs before installing these over the rear shocks?
Any other help much appreciated!
Peace,
Joe

UPR stuff is fine in a drag ONLY car, but any street, road race duty steer clear, Maximum motorsports and griggs are two companies that make nice coil overs for handeling/street manners, Strange and chassis works make great drag coil overs

I would also sway against using coilovers in the rear without adding some material to the rear shock tower. That area isn't really meant to support the weight of the car without some help. MM is the place I would go if I were to do it though. Yes you will have to remove the shocks and springs before installing. It really isn't all that hard. MM usually posts pretty good instructions on their websites for all their products. Might want to give it a look.

since the shock mounts and spring perches are so close to each other in the rear its not bad to go with coil overs in the rear, but it is to go with inferior parts out back
