So I'm looking through American muscle and I want better handling and everything. I saw that there is coilovers and suspension kit So I just want to know the difference and pros and cons for them.

The suspension kit has the sway bars and isn't coil overs, just normal locations for springs I think, but the picture of those struts and springs isn't for a fox... I'd check out this kit from Maximum Motorsports as it has Koni dampers and super high quality components, as well as the caster/camber plates you'll need. The coil overs will ride a lot better than stock location springs and handle great as well.

Sweet god that is a lot for coil overs. I’m using the strange coil overs in the front and coil and shock in the rear. Imo it’s kind of a waste to put coil overs in the rear, but to each their own.

Totally depends on what you are trying to do with the car.
