gettin some money from taxes what kind of suspension stuff should i get? springs is a must! hwo bout upper and lower CA's? sub frames....anything else?

How much money are you getting back. That will determine if you're getting Griggs stuff or MAC stuff. Huge difference.

what about MM stuff?

Posted by 1Sicgt (Member # 714) on :

MM is much better quality then griggs. But thats my experience. Hence why my car is almost full MM now.

oh yea i forgot about them..thanks man ill look into them..jc3man (i think thats his screen name) lives about 2 blocks from me! he owns alteredspeed.

I would say for any mustang, subframes are a must. That is if you dont want the frame twisting, and your doors not shutting well. As far as LCA's, MM's are the best quality I've seen. They are beautiful. Most recommend going with the cobra UCA's. The aftermarket ones bind too much and arent great for cornering. Your car will skip around corners. The cobra ones are CHEAP, and are just like yours, with higher durometer rubber. I had this set up and liked it.

WOW, havent heard Big Boy in a looong time. How long did they have your car to install that stuff, im guessing a minimum of 2 weeks [Roll Eyes]

no reason to spend too much even if you have it.....

go w/ hpm lca's and energy suspension bushing kit all the way around.

you can airbag the right sid eif you like...(good time to do it w/ the springs out anyway)

i'd keep your stock springs, and check it like that first...if you still want more , go w/ the springs , and whatever else.

the mega bites and bushings alone will will make you think your in a vette. and you'll hook like hell w/ cheater's and that air bag

I know bigboy takes forever!! They've had my car since last monday.. they said last thursday but friday for sure now havent heard of them in a couple of days so i called them today and they told me tomarrow but definitely pick it up thursday morning but maybe tomarrow afternoon!! [Roll Eyes]

Posted by 9Roush8 (Member # 2472) on :

You should also think about getting your torque boxes welded... There doing that to mine as well. If you run slicks or anything else its extra insurance

WOW, some things never change. Quality work done but it shouldnt take weeks to do something that would normally take a day or two. Good luck man! [Cool]
