I just finished up the install of some reverse glow gauges over the weekend and as always when one project finishes my thoughts turn to the next project. I am convinced modding is like a drug.

I was wondering about suspension setups. From doing a visual inspection the shocks and struts on my stang are original and right now it has just over 100K miles on it. I do not plan on racing or drag racing the car just for everyday use with the odd time that I will actually work it a little. I was thinking of lowering it but that is not the primary reason for the upgrade.

What vendors, kits, and suppliers do you recommend? I want to keep the price range within reason. By the way it is a vert with sub frames already installed.

thx

FMS B springs ($135-150 from motorsports dealer) I would go with a good set of shocks/struts like the bilsteins don't use the KYB GR2s, I hate mine. Poly bushings, sn95 conversion, etc.
