Suspension Question
Well...Mach 1's come stock with springs+shucks/struts built for the drag strip and for the 1/4 mile, basically built for launching. They also have springs 1/2 inch lower than stock Mustang GTs.
I was thinking about purchasing H&R lowering springs w/ Tokico HP Shocks/Struts and MM Caster Camber plates...but with lowering springs and new shocks/struts, I will be weakening my launch and only gaining looks and some handling performance.
I use it as a daily driver, rarely go to road courses or road tracks, and only take it to the dragstrip a couple times per year...what spring/shock/suspension in general would you recommend for me, as I am really in a bind right now (plan on ordering parts within the week)
Thanks guys[sm=signs003.gif]

RE: Suspension Question
Im in the same dilemma, except I'll probably end up ordering next month. I am for sure going to get some springs, but I'll prolly go with steeda springs and some adjustible shocks/struts. that way when I go to the track, I can change how it rides, and still have comfort on the way home.

RE: Suspension Question
In your case(s), the best route may be getting adjustable control arms and adjustable shocks/struts. That will give you better options for DD and track use. Besides, if you have not replaced the control arms, you may want to anyway to hook better.

RE: Suspension Question
yeah I'm definately going to get some upper/lower control arms...I just don't know if I should even bother with springs/shocks/struts since they could worsen my suspension (launch-wise)

any brands in particular?
I'm thinking about Steeda sport springs...they don't lower it enough to effect launches too badly

RE: Suspension Question
thanks Code...where would I buy these?
I saw both brands on JEGS but wasn't sure which to get specifically, especially the Strange adjustables...none of them are made for 03 or newer models?
