Are these sufficient for a daily driver?

Are they comparable to anything others out there?

What is a good shock/strut to run with these springs?

The C spring is a great spring set up...Some people think they're a little stiff...They run a rate of 650lb up front and 200/300lb on the back...The C spring doesnt lower a car that much either, which isn't necessaraly a bad thing...

I would recommend some Tokico's or if you can afford it Bilsteins...

Ive had those on my car for a few yrs with the koni reds. Mine had a rake look to it when first installed, but after i hauled enough loads in it the rears colapsed and sat rather nice [Big Grin] There a good value for an average street mustang(fox) IMO

1/4 coil cut in the rear and mine were perfect

Those are the best springs for the money! Gene Evans Ford has them for $109! Just price match it with summit and get free shipping.
