How is the ride feel after putting coil-overs on your Mustang?
Please give me examples such as: road noise, pump feel (soft or hard), going over speed bumps, pulling into driveways, street driving, highway.
Thanks!

My coilover setup is pretty bumpy but it handles GREAT! I have red Koni coilovers in the front and just red koni shocks in the back. My car is slammed on some 17s too. Havent been to the track yet so this ony goes for street and freeway.

i did it on my car and it depends on the spring rate and shock combo....im shooting for a lil stiffer ride but i have no complaints at all.....its all the same nothing is loud or anything

i have upr coilovers up front with kyb agx struts and compared to the lowering springs i had before, it feels better. not noisy but it all depends on which shocks you go with...some might be noisier than others.

depending on brand, spring rates, and shock combos, your gonna have different feels. form what i hear, the mm coilovers are usually the most popular and sought after coilovers so that would be your best bet. no noise and they will hook it up with exactly what youre looking for.

I have coil covers on mine and I love rhem bilsteins HD front and back with mm coil springs. They are so much better then the h@r 1000 lb springs I had on there before and handle better at the track and are way more streetable.
