suspension sugestions
(yes i know i posted this in the 2nd gen forum but i figured u people would like a go at it too that dont frequent there)
what would u people sugest in the front and back too use as struts? swaybars? im pretty much decided on tein HE coilovers heard there worth the money (though ill have too save some for awhile) planing on doing the five lug swap and the mustang wheels cause there inexpensive wheigh a little over 16 lbs a piece 17in by 7.5in and luck pretty dang good when the mustang insignia is removed from them and replaced with a blank cover. im also looking at some roll bars. the car is going too be striped soon and i want too take care of handling first then power then some apearence stuff. it will be a daily driver but i love ruff rides and being able too feel the road. ill probaly jus swap in better pads and do steel break lines since im swapping in the five lugs but yea i want ur sugestions (if something is significantly better in design and quality i am willing too pay for it though wit my cash/income itll take awhile (too get too the pt where my car is finished willprobaly be ehh 4-5 maybe more years i hope not but probaly) )

Tein HEs, huh...Planning on drifting? well, if you plan on auto-x there are different classes not only in HP, but by suspension setup also...you might not want to step up too quickly...but if you have a really big parking lot where you don't have to worry about smacking into another car or mountain wall...shoot Tein HE's are great (if you want stiffer spring rates, they're readily available for purchase)...roll bar will stiffen up chassis and possibly safety...and plan to buy plenty of tires.
