Nova - those pics look great.
I'm definitely looking more towards drag racing but I want something that can cut a pretty good corner as well. I know I will have to sacrifice some ride quality which is fine, but I want to keep it reasonable. I'll definitely be speaking with MM about the specifics. Seems people have good things to say about them.
I'd love to put in more but I can't spend quite that much in one shot.
Aereon what is a phb perch, I'm not familiar with this. Also are you set up for drag or auto x?
Thank you all for the guidance thus far

Ah but Grasshopper, remember, it is not the sum of parts that makes the car corner well, rather, it is the driver that understands how to manipulate the parts he has! LOL!

I am setup for road racing(autox and soloII events), and unfortunately I'm not rich like novanut to purchase the whole grip box all at once=P I've bought the smaller grip kits mm has to offer and when I can save up I'll purchase the mm max grip box with the parts I have deleted from it.

Heh I'm pretty sure with a set of 6 pot wilwoods I'd be able to lower my track times by a few secs=P, but it is true, tightening the nut behind the wheel nets the best gains.

I have an 03 Stang GT and am looking for some suspension upgrades, specifically a coil over suspension system. I'm looking at the Maximum Motorsports Complete Coil-Over Package at ~$1600.00.
Coil-Over Package, 1994-04 Mustang
Our Coil-Over Packages include the following parts:
[ul][*]MM Front Coil-Over Kit[*]MM Rear Coil-Over Kit[*]Pair 2-1/2" Hypercoil Springs[*]Pair 2-1/4" Hypercoil Springs[*]Bilstein HD Front Struts[*]Bilstein HD Rear Shocks[*]MM Caster/Camber Plates[/ul]
I'm working towards a quality streep/strip car that is for now a DD...but will not stay that way. So my questions are as follows.
- Are coil overs worth it?
- Is this a good reputable kit, personal experiences with it or others?
- What spring rates should I be looking at?
- What else is out there?
- Other advice, constructive criticism and options?
Thank you all in advance for your replies and time.
