Are any of you guy's running MM or Griggs coil-overs on only the rear of you Mustang?...If you are what springs do you have in the front, and What spring rates are you running in the rear?...

I'm on a very tight budget and was wondering if I could keep my-(soft Pro-Kit)-Eibach's up front(until I can afford front coil-overs) while running MM coil-overs in the rear...

Will this make my "over-steer" problem worse?..

What do you guy's think?.....

I think if you want the coil-overs all around, then either by the rear and wait or put the money away until you can get the front also. Right now I have the front kit only and you can definitely tell the difference.

I agree with Ray95. While the rear coil-overs are great, the front coil-over kit will make more of a noticeable difference.
I have the Griggs front coil-overs in stock, with your choice of spring rate! (I recommend 350lb. for the street.) PM or call me!

......So, I can run rear coil overs(stiffer springs) in the back and have no adverse affects compared to the Eibach's?..

Technically, yes, but GR40 is right.
