Suspension idiot needs help!

[67stang390]

Ok guys, I want coilovers. If I bought this: http://www.x2cmotorsports.com/cart/shopper.exe?preadd=true&key=679
what else do I need? Do you need new struts and shocks? Other stuff? I'm a real noob when it comes to suspension stuff. I'm done with the power catagory now I need to figure out how to get it to the ground. Also, what would be a reasonable rate to expect to install something like those coilovers? Normally I'd do the work myself but I'm at college and tools and garage space is limited.

Looks like you are going to need a tubular K member with that. The pics and info really suck with that link though. Do a search for coil overs on the internet. It's pretty much removing the stock coil from the A arm and switching to the stuff that's in the link.
For the rear, your going to have get new lower control arms that don't have the coil socket.
All in all, it's going to cost a good amount of dough for new parts and install rates.

Thanks 94GTStang I started reading quite a bit after I posted that. It looks like coilovers will be down the road a bit for me. Someone else posted about buying the x2c coilovers and had some negative comments about their setup. Too bad for that price. I'll probably just stick with some lower control arms and subframe connectors for now.
