Just an FYI, but if you want to "lower" the stang, the drag launch kit is not the way to go. My vote went to shocks and struts, but I recommend 90/10s instead of 70/30s.

Well they're going to help with weight transfer and at the same time lower the car. You reccomend 90/10s for a daily driven stang??

To be honest, I'd be surprised if they lowered the car at all! Those springs are designed for the track and for maximum weight transfer, not for lowering the ride height. Most of the cars I've seen with them actually sit at stock height or a little taller. I run Moroso Trick front springs and had to cut them 1 1/2 coils to get a decent ride height. And, yes, there is nothing wrong with 90/10s on a dd. But, if you have concerns, pop for a set of adjustables.

You can buy all this stuff seperate but you need to install it all at the same time. Do you really wanna pull apart your suspension 3 or 4 times? i sure as fluck dont.

I voted for u/l control arms because thats what you would benefit from most. I remember you saying that you were having problems keeping the tires under control when launching with your new converter, etc. This will help alot.

Yeah, the strange struts and shocks are kinda expensive, but you get what you pay for. But in the long run it's always cool to say that I've got (insert brand name parts here) on my 'stang. Randy I hope your cool about the coolness of those cool shocks. I really hope that the control arms help out with traction on all season radials. Well I've got all the parts lined up that I want now, I just need the $$$!!! Thank god that I get paid tomorrow.
