That was a pricey front suspension, still hurts me to think about it, lol.
Griggs K & A-arms (explains the 1.5" forward offset), MM coilovers on Bilsteins, Hypercoil 350-lbs/in springs, MM Bumpsteer Kit, Solid rack bushings, MM "shorty" sway bar links. I spent months spreading the fenders on that car to accomodate the forward offset and 18's.
Never knew a Fox Mustang could handle on that level. It would absolutely blow my current 96 Cobra out of the water in the twisties (Cobra has H&R SS springs, Toks, Panhard, MM rear lower control arms, FMS uppers, etc)...

im so glad i didnt get that k! i ended up with the aje, wheels couldnt be more centered. i ended up with the hyper 300's and strange 10 ways on a flaming river man rack but i still need the solid bushings, cant find the ones with the 5/8 hole for the life of me. with my t.a., pan hard bar, and mm 415-515 lb/in. t.a. coils its a rail for sure. i got some nice adjustable for the rear and solid sway bar for the front but haven't put them on yet, with no sway bar in the front and stock in the rear i dont think it could handle better but well see!

Ya, the forward offset is not for everyone as it is not a bolt on and go type of mod. It takes a lot of work to get the wheels to clear, but once it's done, it does offer a handling advantage. Many people lose patience and just cut slits between the fender extension and the body molding just in front of the front wheels (looks terrible IMHO).
The Griggs K not only increases the wheel-base by 1.5" but also the front track by 0.5"

Yes sir, that company is serious business. It is not for your typical mainstream Mustang enthusiast.

If they are DD Plasmas, good shape, with tires, you can find them on SVTPerformance once in a while for $1800-2500ish.
The price went up on these after they discontinued them a few years back.
You can find the 18x8.5s in silver finish for under $800 on various forums.
There is a premium for deep dish and there is a premium for Plasma finish. [ May 25, 2010, 02:26 PM: Message edited by: Luke87GT ]
