im finally getting my 88 out this friday. i want to get it ready for crusing and what not. as of last year i dont really like the way my car rides, its very rough, you can feel every bump in the road, if i go over train tracks all over the place. previous owner said that he had something called suspension technique springs installed, and as far as i can tell there are also stock struts and shocks(they are all balck).

now i am a highschool student going onto university so i have to somewhat budget myself. what i wanted to install are ford racing springs, mac U/L control arms(then remove the rear quad shocks), and some sort of shocks. i dont know what springs to get. my car is low now and it is very leveled. i want that lower front end look so i was thinking the B or C spring. whats better? the C has progressive rate what does that effect.

as for shocks what can i throw on, i want something cheap but can ride good. overall i want my stang to handle better in the corners(no drifting obviously) while maintaing a nice ride feel. right now its like i am riding a horse its horrible.

anything ??

what do you recommend

just go down to your local parts store and get a nice set of monroe shocks and struts

The "C" springs are very stiff in the front. 650lbs non variable rate.
The "B" springs will ride better. Both kits use the same rear springs.
I used to have the "C" springs and sisn't need the front sway bar, because the front end would not move, even if you tried pushing down on the fender. I should have kept them I have stockers in mine for now.

im just trying to figure out what would give me a better ride for crusing and cornering.

right now i have a full 1 inch drop front and rear, is that to low? i personally like the ride height that its at.
also do i have to get special shocks and struts for a lowered car? i was going to either get monroes or kyb (the gt-2 or something)

also what do you think of the summit U/L control arms, there 200 bucks and is exactly what i can budget for. but will i see any benefits, or will its be better just to leave everything stock
