Suspension Package Selection

CO's run LOWER spring rates, not higher. I run Yellows, but have not run anything else, so cannot give you a comparison between them and Bilsteins. If you see yourself going to AX and HPDE's, just spend the extra $$$ up front and go CO's. Much improved suspension response up front (some debate on rear CO's) and infinite adjustability.

This is due to the revised location of the spring vs the OEM location? It appears from a previous post, the HDs max out around 350 lb/in front and 225 lb/in rear.
I retract the statement about not knowing someone who runs them
This is from another post:
"I called MM the other day and they strongly recommended not to do rear coilovers if im going to drive the car on the street. They said it would be too rough and i wouldnt like it at all."
To run rear COs, or not...hmm

MM has on/off said not to run CO's out back. I have run them for well over 4 years and no issues. Their position, as I understand it, is one of being "un-necessary" for the street and wears out too soon. I have not found this to be the case and have no issues with them. They offer better control of the rear axle and improved freedom of movement, being the shock and spring are in the same location/path of travel.
Jrad... yes, the lower rates are due to moving the springs outward of the pivot point of the control arms. it is approx. 2 times farther out up front and like 1/3 out on the rear. A 300# CO up front, is roughly 650# OEM spring, in terms of stiffness.

The WL or PHB with TA are absolutely HUGE upgrades in lateral grip replacing the Mustang 4-link. This is going to be an improvement, regardless of what spring set-up one is running. Do this upgrade on an car with OEM located springs and just goes to the next level with CO's. In my case, I went CO's, PHB, TA all at once, so I cannot really explain the individual changes for each of these items
If you are serious about carving corners, and you should be if you are considering a 3-link, you will end up going beyond what you have on your list thus far.
