Nah thats why I'm doing it. I think with QA1 you need their specific control arms and cc plates, not sure though. But yeah I'll probably do the backs eventually but just up front for now.

well if you are going more for comfort, nothing will beat the OEM isolators...

for handling it goes no isolators>polyurethane isos>oem isos

for comfort it goes oem>poly>none

i am also looking into a CO set up... ill have to look into the MM kit... i love the idea of adjustability. but i hate the idea of losing my current comfortable ride.. any car with CO's that i have been in has the roughest ride that it acutally hurts. no joke..

Thats the opposite of what I've heard. I've been told co's on a mustang will improve ride quality while maintaining good handling. I know its a stretch from a mustang but one car I know that has coilovers and handles and rides well, my fathers G35. But new update, I just talked to a MM tech and he said even though the kit advertises it is good for Tokico's it really is meant for the D-specs and I should get those or upgrade to Bilstien HD's, and I don't have the money for either of those options right now, so it looks like coilovers are out for now . I guess I'm just going to go with gears or asp udp till spring when hopefully I can afford the whole kit from mm. So if you ever plan on getting co's don't get tokico blues.

you are right. i just did some more research... Coil Overs for mustangs should give you more comfort and traction than you could ever imagine...

Yeah they are supposed to do wonders for our cars, sadly you and I are in the same boat now. I'm really disappointed. I just can't justify spending the $250+ for the front bilsteins just to do co's which cost another $360, after I just did all the shocks/struts with blues less than 5,000 miles ago.

Those look sick, and like the would be close to $1,000+

Thats why I was all excited over mine, I was actually going to have them on in under two months. I'm going to do some 3.73's in the rear I think instead.
