Default Coil Overs

08 GT. Thinking of chucking the lowering springs, struts and shocks in favor of coil overs. Which ones would be suggested and will there be issues with the camber as there were with the lowering springs?

It's good that you're thinking of doing coilovers over springs, I would do the same thing as well. If you don't want to worry about camber adjustments being all screwed up and you want a good overall budget coilover that has rebound adjustment, compression adjustment and adjustable ride height, then these BC coilovers would be good to take a look at:


BC Racing BR Series Coilovers for Ford Mustang

Not only are these coilovers great in their performance aspects, but in their durability and aesthetic beauty. They are mostly made from aluminum and steel from the highest tiers of quality and strength in order to give you the longevity that you need for your coilovers to last in extreme driving conditions. The black chromed steel dampers, anodized aluminum components, and electrically treated steel lower mounts give you the overall aftermarket suspension experience that you expect out of your coilovers.

If you have any questions, feel free to PM/Email or give me a call at 714.582.3330 extension 8002, or ask for Jurrian

What is your budget? I would avoid the above at all costs.

agreed, I've heard some bad reviews about BC coilovers. Budget wise, I would go with ST coilovers, they're made by KW. They're the same as the kwv1's only they're zinc coated steel instead of stainless steel. If you're in an area where rust and moisture isn't an issue I would recommend these. Just put em on my car and love them.

ST suspensions just came out with their fully adjustable coilover set. Basically a KW V2 kit.
