Coil Spring Selection?

79Stang · 01-31-2001, 09:06 PM

I want to get a good aggressive stance for my Stang and I was looking at the INTRAX setup... They say 2inch drop in the stang without the harsh ride... They are like $189 or something to that effect - around the same as the BBK

Anyone ever use this brand before?? I'm not going to spend $250 for coil spring's - looking for lower priced pair... BBK, FMS and this INTRAX

Thanks!

I just put D&D Motorsports coil over kit on my car. It was $209.00 and you can flat slam it if you choose to. I can send pics if you like.

2" is a bit much IMHO. Unless, of course, you plan on investing on some camber/caster plates for your car as well. You'll need it to keep the alignment from going nucking futs. That coil over kit sounds like it's a good deal though. I'm intrigued.

Well, most of them are 1.5 inch - the .5 makes a big difference??? I am pretty dumb as far as suspension goes.. Never really got into it...

I have heard nothing bad from MAC or BBK.

Mach 1 and others have the BBK's and they look great!

When, if, I buy springs, I would get MAC, the price and quality is just great!

I don't know if I could buy another MaC product after having there shorties, but I'll look into them - maybe they do make some good products
