i agree with ya polo...my thought on that though....if you want a cadillac ride then buy a cadillac...if you want a car that handles...you must sacrifice!

Even tho I love the Tein SS setup, I rather have my ride be smooth than stiff. It will be for daily driving only, so what is the best setup in my case using drop springs. I love the idea of being able to adjust the ride, but not sure what to do now??</P><edited><editID>Roentgen</editID><editDate>38114.4820717593</editDate></edited>

with the adjustable struts/coilovers you can throw all comfort out the window. If you want something smoother try the Tein H-tech.... Its less of a drop and everyone I know who has them are pretty satisfied with the ride comfort.

I'll take a look at the Tein's. What else would I need to go with the drop springs besides new shocks? I suppose going with the springs instead of the struts/coilover setup will be cheaper. Btw, how much of a drop will the Tein's give me? Anything around 1.5-2" F/R will be enuf for me.</P>


Edit: Well, I have decided to go with the S-Tech springs (if I go with Tein) since they give me a drop of 1.9 (F) and 1.7 (R). Ppl on other forums seem to love them as well. I will prbly go with Koni shocks to replace the OEM.</P><edited><editID>Roentgen</editID><editDate>38114.9599884259</editDate></edited>

you will eventually need new shocks, but your stock ones will be fine for a while... If u dont have the loot to get both right now. Remember to get an alignment when your done

the alignment is a must. after iinstalled the roush susp. kit on the stang i dont think the outter 3 inches of the wheels were on the ground. it was soo far off i needed ccplates. but i got lucky and put them on with the susp anyway. saved a lot of time and $$$$

I've read that stock shocks will wear out within 3-5 months after putting on drop springs (this is on average). Since I will only be using the car as a daily driver, should I not get adjustable shocks (Koni or Tokico) and just get the cheaper ones?
