Default coilover project begins.. need some tips-

The time has come, i need to order my last suspension parts so I can prepare for this install.

Now currently I have;

-max.motorsports c/c plates [4bolt] black http://www.maximummotorsports.com/st...roducts_id=256

-strange 10way adjustable shocks/struts
http://modularpowerhouse.com/product...6797da08ceb9ff

-upr front coilover kit, they are boxed in my room.
http://www.uprproducts.com/shopping/shopexd.asp?id=121
http://www.uprproducts.com/pdf/coil_over.pdf

i had the upr as a trade off with one of my contacts. i can use it, or sell it. either way i need a front coilover setup so its one of my two decisions. price wise i could gain like 150-200$ off it. its brand new. and throw down another 120~$ and get a mm setup, which is more reputable IMO.

here those are http://www.maximummotorsports.com/st...roducts_id=507

now what should i do, keep the uprs-- save some money? or what?? will i be okay with this front coilover kit?? will it adapt and workwith the rear kit from mm?

Inow need to order my rear setup.

im going to obviously need to order this nowhttp://www.maximummotorsports.com/in...roducts_id=509

will i be okay with my stock UCA/LCA for now? and what else should i look into ordering?

you will be fine with ur stock u/l cas for now but consider adj's down the road, I would spring the extra 150 and sell the upr's so that everything is the same. Just my .02 it really wont make much difference though because your using strange struts and shocks.

It has beenawesome I love the adj of the coilovers.I just took it out the other day after I installed my 4.10's and it looks great as well as handles great and I didn't have to end up rolling my fenders and I have a little over 600 bucks all around with shocks,sturts, and coilovers plus my time. Couple quick shots for youIll get better ones when its not raining out. Dan

Thanks the rears are CE 3 way drag shocks the fronts are 4 way adj KYB AGX and my rear coilover kit is the modular mustang racing kit I was telling you about for 200.00 upr also makes a rear kit for 230 I think. Install is a breeze and very user friendly if you need any help along the way hit me up. It took me about 4 hrs all around taking my time, depending on how much know you have you could do it in prolly 2 hrs or so.

yeah i have all the time i need, im planning on doing it over a 2 day period, so i can really take my time with it. i just need to order the rears. if you look above you can see what i have, what else would you suggest i look into? or will i be ok..

the car isnt like a track car or anything lol.

do you think i will be okay with speed bumps and weird roads, since there are many out here in vegas? i mean everything will be adjustable but if i ride low, it wont be more than 2"... things would be okay right?? oh and i do have a 04 cobra front end-- so its lower already..
