Might be a broad question but I just bought a complete front a rear coil over kit, all I know about it is that it fits a 94 up mustang and it is full billet. I would just like to know what shocks/struts it would fit without trial and error. I can post a picture if anybody can tell by looking at it. Thanks

Not sure, but I would say that is not the best way to convert to coilovers. That kit just adds spacers to mount the springs directly on your existing shocks or struts. The problem being, the attachement points on your shocks and struts weren't made to hold the entire load of the car!!! Just look at the lower mount of the rear shock... it is held by just a single small bolt. Do you really want the entire weight of the car riding on these 2 small bolts? Sounds scary to me.

don't the other aftermarket ones use the same setup? The Maximum Motorsports one uses a bracket but it's still only using one bolt, correct?

Ahh, you're talking about the mount, i can strengthen up the mount and bolts no problem.

MM has a specially designed bracket for attaching the lower shock mount. I can't link it directly, but go to MM's website and in the rear suspension area, find 'Lower Shock Mount for use with Coil-Over kit'.

That's just the first problem that came to mind with the kit you pictured. No idea if there are other huge design flaws. Personally, I'd resell it to help pay for MM parts.

To me it looks almost UPR'ish.
