Default Kind of suspension for my 5.0...

I've been looking around for a suspension kit for my 89 lx..I've had my eye on the Super Suspension Kit in the Mustang Unlimited catalog.. there are 3 types: Street, Sport, & Race. I plan on racing with my car soon but I still want it to where it handles really well on the streets because I like to cruise around alot in my car... So I was wondering what some you you guys/gals thought on here.


Street: Front KYB struts, Rear KYB shocks, and a set of Eibach lowering springs (1 1/2" ). $399.95

Sport: Everything Street offers plus Upper & Lower rear control arms. $599.95

Race: Everything Sprot offers plus Sub-frame connectors. $669.95

I've been thinking of getting the street for now and just buying the Sub-frame connectors & control arms later.

i dont really think you need the sub frames unless you puttin down some real power - the sport sounds good to me ..have you looked into lift bars?

seems a little expensive, and i have heard a lot of bad things about KYB, they wear out quickly. some say in 1 year they feel like stock shocks. u can pick up a set of 4 tokico blues for $300 and springs for about 150 elsewhere. also, i would add the subframes, they really stiffen up the car. even in a stock application, they are a mustang must do, IMO
