Coilovers, not shocks and springs
 
I want to buy a decent pair of coil overs for the mustang and i have not heard of anyone on the forum buying a pair. Instead i hear a lot about purchases of lowering springs and shocks.

The spring and the shock should be designed for each other to get the best performance. I guess i would want my system to have the highest natural frequency and be as close to critically damped as possible.

Where can I get a decent pair of coil overs?

Not sure because I have never driven in a mustang with coilovers. But... I would probably go with Tein Flex with the "EDFC" electronic dampening controller.

Tein's basic coilovers (msrp around 800-1000) are really not very good and not adjustable. Systems like the Flex or even the lesser superstreet will definitely deliver though.

well I'm planning on purchasing the eibach multi pro R1 coilover..some other members have said they were unbeleivable...i think KW also makes a coilover for the mustang as well

H&R is my coilover of choice.

The lowering springs I had before made for a super harsh ride. Cornering sucked. I am happy with my suspension it works great at the track. This is the track with corners not the 1/4 mile kind.

I bought the ground control coilover kit for the 2005-2009 mustang gt and they are the best available IMO. I looked at teins, KW, and Eibach. After not liking teins EDFC adjustment comp, I have my mind set on KW's. I talked to a representative from KW and he said the springs are progressive type. I didnt like that and started to do more research and came to a conclusion with Ground Control. http://www.ground-control-store.com/. Quality is amazing, koni shocks with eibach springs are perfect, everything is assembled and ready for installation. It also comes with caster camber plates and a choice of spring rates.

I have coil overs all the way around. I love them. I can adjust so easy.

As far as affordable coilovers go, I'd probably go the KW Variant 3 route.

Anyone have/try the Roush Track Pack set?
