What will make my car a smoother ride

[brtnstrns]

Driving my car around I've noticed its a pretty bumpy ride...I havent changed the suspension since I bought it so i'm not really sure what its like but I'm guessing thats it. My pops and I are gonna be replacing the shocks over spring break...so i'm just wondering before I do that is there any possibility that there may also be something else involved...just so I can worry about that at the same time. By the way anyone know where to get good shocks for my car and what kind I should get?

Springs are another key factor, which ones you want depend on how well you want it to handle vs. how stiff you can take the car being. If you are looking to do this whole suspension switch you may want to look into the kits that Mustangs Plus and National Parts Depot sell.

Koni, KYB, and Edelbrock seem to be the shocks most people are using. They range pretty greatly in price.
Good luck!

I got my entire front and rear suspention from mustang's plus. Its a great kit, all the bushings bearings, and pieces are there.

One thing to be careful of are the poly uerethane (sp) bushing. My strut rods broke, and i have heard that this can be attributed to those bushings. I never drove the thing offroad or fast over any bumps, and one day over a small bump (i was going slow) the thing just snapped.

Good luck in which ever way you go.
