[QUOTE]Originally posted by EPIKMACH: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by solbrothers: [qb] ok. so what is the benefit of coilovers? the adjustability?? [/qb][/QUOTE]Thats one of the benefits, along with better handling & a smoother ride, depending on spring rates. Here is Maximum Motorsports explanation of coilovers.. [QUOTE]Coil-over conversion kits eliminate the conventional stock springs that are located on the control arms, and replace them with compact, lightweight springs that fit over the struts and shocks. This is the optimum spring location for reducing suspension bind and unsprung weight. It provides completely free suspension movement with a drastic reduction in impact harshness. With a coil-over kit, your Mustang's performance and ride firmness can be precisely adjusted to suit your performance demands. A wide variety of readily available spring rates allow precise fine-tuning of your car's handling balance. An added bonus of coil-overs is that the ride quality will be better than it was when the car was still stock! Vehicles being tuned for better handling performance can utilize spring rates that provide much higher wheel rates (see FAQ here for an explanation of this term) than stock, yet without the impact harshness associated with using stiffer than original equipment springs in the stock location. This improvement in ride quality is especially noticeable in the front suspension. The vehicle can also be lowered, with infinitely small increments of adjustment, and can be precisely corner-weighted. Excessive brake dive and body roll will be a thing of the past, allowing the vehicle to handle like never before. Drag racers also benefit from installing coil-over kits. Besides the overall reduction in vehicle weight, coil-overs can increase weight transfer by providing bind-free suspension movement and the ability to use relatively soft springs. The ability of coil-overs to allow precise ride height adjustments also aids in tuning the vehicle for optimum performance. Whatever the ride height desired, whether it's stock or lowered, our coil-over kit can provide it. [/QUOTE] [/QB][/QUOTE]
