The HREs are very expensive, strong but heavy...

Cortc,
I am now thinking about the MS springs and sway bars. Did the instructions include torque values?

Thanks,
MD

Question question cortc

hey did you get an alignment done after this suspension package modification?

If not would you suggest it? Does it deviate the settings of the car a lot after you installed this?

Thank you.

Hi guys... i know this is a stupid question but here it goes .... are the MS shocks and springs that i saw in the pics... are they the same thing as coilovers.... such as HKS coilovers??? Im guessing that they are the same thing .. just different names.

Thanks

Coilovers are normally referring to shock and spring that are intergrated together like the pix, the MS shocks and springs are still the traditional set up.

They are both coilovers, one is adjustable the other is not... The mustang suspension is not a coilover, the spring sits alongside the shock...

After the install we put it up on the alignment rack and everything was still within spec...

cortc - just intalled my MS suspension on Tuesday, shcocks, springs, and sways - and all I can say is that you were right. I am in love with this car allover again. I had my personal rotary mechanic do the install. We had a llot of trouble removing the OEM shocks due to not enough room to work with. It takes a little bit of voodoo to get these off the car.

How much did you guys get the suspesion for? I would love to get one

the cheapest way I can get them is through Canzoomer for shocks and mazdatrix for springs

which comes to about 650 dollars
