I'm curious about this too, what exactly are you looking for performance wise? I have GR40 coilovers/poly bushings/solid LCA's and koni shocks/struts; and it handles fantastically... Jazzer has the front SLA(short arm/long arm) kit from Griggs Racing, thats as good as it gets as far as mustang front suspension is concerned... Good people to take advice from.

I highly doubt you will design a better set up than Griggs, MM, Agent-47, etc.

Do whatever you want, but to do it correctly you are going to have to spend some money and have the car set up correctly.

What are you doing, off roading?

The parts available will allow you do pretty much anything.

christ sakes, I want to do my own thing... I want to be super low like my e36 was. My sportlines arent low enough and I want stiff springs and fully adjustable height, I want to tuck on all four tires with a flush fitment. I'm not about racing in any way, I have yet to see a sn95 sit how I want mine to sit. That miata looks SICK bro!

The fenders of the SN95 are really not cut well for the look I believe you are after

Here is a pic of the ABSOLUTE LOWEST you can go and be streetable:


My front tires rub on larger bumps at OEM diameter and am also running a tube "K" to address the geometry issues created by such a drop. I have about 2.5" of clearance under my ride and the entire underside is beat to crap

I want to roll like this:


I realize the fenders on mine aren't perfect but I can still flatten the lip of the fender and possibly do a small pull. I'm waiting to see what his suspension setup is.

You can't roll like that

Even that guy has serious ride, handling and geometry issues, I can guarantee. Not to mention rubbing. It takes more than just rolling the fenders I can tell you. I have cut the entire lip off the underside of my fenders, there is just no room up underneath for the tire/wheel in which to travel.

Again.... my car is the MAX you will ever go and be streetable.

jazzer has a pretty good run down in his sig of what is done on his car, several pics as well. Check it out. In the mean time, you could consider this?
