I have had mine for a couple months now and the handling capability between these and the stock suspension is night and day. I got the springs, shocks and struts no CC plates and no issues car handles fantastically.

I have them and they are a good upgrade from stock, and not too far behind the better ones like bilstein and koni.

I am running with the Tokico shocks/struts and Ford C springs. She handles pretty good.

ok thanks for the replies guys. totally off topic, but i've always wondered what makes coilovers so much better than just a regular spring and shock/strut combo? don't they do pretty much the same thing?

coil overs are easy to adjust things like ride height and make corner weighting the car easier. also, most good coil over shocks themselves are much more adjustable. i dont know much about coilovers on stangs though, but it was the setup of choice on miatas.
