hey all, im in desperate need of new shocks and struts and im going to replace my a-arms with some tubular ones and i was thinking of just getting the d and d coil over set up for the front and back. my concern is that the new springs for the coil overs will hit my wheels and tires. i have 9" rims with 245's in the front and 275's in the back. anyone with any experience with this?mytires are awfully closeto the shocksand struts now. almost to close for comfort.thanks

depends on back spacing...it may clear it may not..you'll just have to try it..I have the D&D SET UP ON THE FRONT OF MT CAR FROM K-MEMBER TO a-arms to coil overs and it worked awesome......but I run skinnies on the front too!!

did you notice a better ride? that is what im shooting for. thanks

and if it helps, they are 04 cobra wheels, the car is an 85 gt with an 8.8, no quad shocks, upr extreme duty upper and lower control arms and the front has 95 gt spindles and breaks.

they are adjustable

you probably better find someone with a fox with the coil overs on it before you go spending your money on them. If you know someone, try putting your rims on their car. they should fit though considering that they are all the same platform...............

I have a lot of other suspension mods too. but the car rides great!!!!

should i skip the coil overs and just go with good shocks and struts? i think most will recommend strange engineering for the shocks and stuts.

I love my coil overs... front and rear 1.599 sixty foot.... handles real well on the road(when not raining....)

even if you do go w. coilovers, i recommed strange for the shock/strut...
