I have an 82 mustang and the suspension has got to go. Any suggestions for the rear. I was considering lowerings springs.....possibly

ok we need a little more info... is it ur DD? do you care more about handling or drag racing? do you want a corner carver? or a straight line weight transfering set up?

Yes its my daily driver but it will see occasional the track occasionally. I wanted something good for both. Ive only had the car for 2 months and i have minimal mods. mainly wanted a streetable reasonably priced suspension that would get my power to the ground without sacrificing the fact that its a dd.

my buddy has an 85 and he put some aftermarket shocks and struts on (nothing fancy) and subframe connectors and a strut tower and it made a huge difference. he still has stock springs too.

well all around is hard to get.... usually ur geared for one or the other... ill suggest subframe connectors, and strange struts/shocks.... their adjustable and i run them up front.... awesome struts, glad i bought them... deffinatly get a lowering spring in the rear, and up front, either lowering springs, or 4 banger springs, which will not handle as good as a lowering spring, but will drop it SOME and help w. drag racing.

time for an 8.8 swap

yea well i have the following mods so far- 8.8 rear, sub frame connectors, long tube headers, x-pipe, flowmaster catback, holley 650 double pumper, accel coil plugs and cap and rotor, ac elim kit, underdrive pullies, and solid motor mounts.

my main concern was that i heard that FMS lowering springs kind of sucked and BBK or Eibachs were the way to go.

Steeda and H&R make good springs as well from what i've heard.
