[QUOTE="1hot281, post: 13327606, member: 88586"] Kits aren't always the best unless you're going with high dollar stuff. Coilovers also aren't necessary... especially in the rear, where a true coilover is hardly ever found. (Most Mustang coilovers in the rear consist of an adjustable spring perch in the stock location. That's it.) Front coilovers [I]are[/I] very beneficial as explained above, but not ideal in your budget. I would [I]personally[/I] get the following: [B]$135[/B]-Maximum Motorsports full length subframe connectors (Bare) [B]$240[/B]-H&R Race springs [B]$575[/B]-Koni Single Adjustable shocks and struts [B]$200[/B]-Maximum Motorsports Caster Camber plates (Black) [B]$250[/B]-Maximum Motorsports Heavy-Duty rear lower control arms (standard, non-adjustable) add around $400 for a front coilover conversion. (Depending on hardware provided. But a complete setup with springs is usually north of $300) This will run you around $1400 without coilovers. Around $1700 with front coilover conversion. You can save maybe $50 to $100 bucks here or there by buying other brand names, like the J&M "street/race" lower control arms I mentioned early for $200... and J&M caster camber plates are like $160 I think. Or maybe finding the H&R springs on sale or something. But I would stick to Maximum Motorsports, Steeda, Griggs, Kenny Brown, Global West, or Stifflers for [U]Subframes[/U]... and Koni Sport single or double adjustables, Bilstein HD or Sport, or Tokico D-Spec for [U]shocks/struts[/U]. Tokico Illumina adjustable struts and shocks also aren't terrible... but you couldn't pay me to put KYB anything on my car. For the most part, you get what you pay for. I find it better to wait, save money, and buy quality once... rather than buy cheap, eventually regret it, and replace it with quality later anyway. [/QUOTE]
