what ever you do..... DO NOT BUY the Qa1 Proactive System. It is the worst POS that I have ever bought, and their TECH support is worthless. I still have problems to this day with my Qa1 suspension. The coil overs are noisy (car sounds like a ho's mattress going over bumps and has tons of clearance issues) IMO, I wish I would have just bought a Roush or Saleen suspension kit.
I highly suggest QA1 to anybody.

Sounds like a **** install too me. I have QA1 Kmember, a arms and coilovers up front and QA1 coilovers out back and not a single noise. The only problem I ever had was the top of one of the struts came loose and leaked but it cost me $5 for fluid and an hour of my time to fix. QA1 customer service was great and stayed on the phone with me and talked me thru the strut rebuild process.
I highly suggest QA1 to anybody.

Mine are noisy as hell. and there are several people on this forum running them and they will agree. In regards to the customer service..... 1, they are not Ford people. 2, They will try anything to get you to not send the product back, and if you do, they make you pay for the shipping. and 3, it took me two months of talking to their customer service to get major issues worked out. I bought the proactive system and have had thousands of problems. To the point where QA1 had to recall their bumpsteer kit because they thought the kit would work on all mustangs, but failed to recognize that in 1998/99 Ford went metric instead of SAE. It took 2 months to solve that issue which finally resulted in me still having to pay of the POS kit.
The reason why I say don't go with coilovers is because IMO, I think they are more work, more expensive, and not what they are all cracked up to be for our year stangs. I love the stance that my stang has with the coilovers, but think the stances obtained with the Roush and Saleen kit are just as good and the handling is extremely equivalent. I also noticed that the Roush and Saleens rides are a little bit more comfortable than the coilovers too.

Thanks for the help guys, keep it comming!
Have you heard anything about the team z stuff?
I have the KGB adjustable shocks/struts, if i go to coil overs, do i have to get new shock/struts to work with them? Reason i ask is i see most kits are either compatable with blistien or Koni/strange
Are they universal is what i am trying to ask?
