drag setup?? 86GT-struts,?

429mustang · 06-18-2002, 10:38 AM

I have an 86 GT, it has a regular spring/shock setup, not a strut. I was going to get the eiback pro-launch spring kit and lakewood shocks, can I get them for my year car, or do I need to convert to struts? Also, how hard would it be to convert to a coil over setup up frontso I can have more adjustment in the ride height, right now my car sits a little high in the front end., and would the coil over be a better setup? Any info would be greatly appreciated.

Unless someone put a different front end on your car you have struts, they just are not coil overs. You can order the Ebich drag kit along with some lakewwood 90/10 or 70/30 struts and 50/50 shocks for a 79 to 93 mustang and it will all bolt up.
If you converted to a coil over it would make it a peice of cake. You won't have to try to wedge the springs under the A-arms.
