Ok so i was wondering what kind of setup would be best for a good road racing, and not to rough on the street mustang gt. So in my 2002 i have a bilsteins and Eibach pro kit with no isolators. Rides fine, and i also got M&M FL SFC's waiting to be welded. Any more suggestions as to maybe a Kmember, coilovers, etc etc what about rear setup??

i have the bilstein coilover kit from mm... its great... rides great and handles well.. since u already have the bilsteins... u should be able to go coilovers for alot cheaper... u would have to have a groove machined into them for the lower spring perches..
since u already have suspension stiffening... i am not sure however if it would be more beneficial to go and spend all the money for coilovers... maybe just ditch the eibach and go witht the really popular setup: bilsteins (keep the ones u have) and h & r springs... and with the money saved.. get lca;s, phb torque arm etc..
i would just give mm a call, and talk to them... they would be super helpfull... but be sure to post back and let us know!

I did...then I went back to IRS cause its so much better for a street/turny car!

I got the IRS for right around $1000 with subframe bushings, diff brace, wheel spacers, low profile subframe bolts, all the cables blah blah blah. Usually you can find 03/04 units from between $600-$1200 depending on what they come with and the condition/mileage. UPR stuff isn't made for turning, nor the rigors of real open track racing... But, it will most likely hold up. Maximum Motorsports stuff is simply superb though, nothing but compliments from me for them!
