TC springs? Reply #31 – October 19, 2008, 11:14:51 AM I'm about to pull the pin.....The car is staying 4 lug with an 11 inch brake upgrade with 73mm calipers....I've ordered the pieces for that (the SSBC kit ---- http://www.latemodelrestoration.com/iwwida.pvx?;item?item_no=SS-A1125%20%20%20%20%20%20%201&comp=LRS and a set of front spindles on eBay).I also have a set of rear Chuck W rear shock adapters saved for just this occasion so it looks like Fox struts/shocks all around. I'm leaning towards these: Struts: http://www.shockwarehouse.com/site/product.cfm/id/15464/name/V36-4138-H3-Bilstein-Ford-MustangShocks: http://www.shockwarehouse.com/site/product.cfm/id/14661/name/B46-2148-H1-Bilstein-Ford-MustangI also believe I have made a spring decision to go with those. Up front the Moog 8598's.... http://101part.net/scart/product_details.asp?ItemNum=MOG%2D8598And in back the Moog 8599'shttp://101part.net/scart/product_details.asp?ItemNum=MOG%2D8599I think this will give me what I want. A decent ride that is an im provement over stock while bringing it to the desired ride height. The rims and tires will come later......THis is gonna stress my budget as it is and the overall tire/rime size will be within .010" in diameter from what I understand....Thoughts/Criticisms/Suggestions are welcomed. :)I'm also curious about the Monroe strut mounts.....Ideas?

TC springs? Reply #32 – October 19, 2008, 07:59:19 PM Springs ordered.....Total was $ 161 with ground shipping....And yes I ordered them through Rockauto Birdman! Tell your boss you need a raise!Shocks/struts next. The rear gears get swapped tomorrow. I'll tackle everything else when it all comes at once.... Quote Selected

TC springs? Reply #34 – October 20, 2008, 10:57:33 AM No sweat. Just ordered the shocks/struts....My credit card hates me....It Would be nice to get all the factory rates/dimension for our cars in one place so the community as a whole has a good reference on which to build. Many thanks to all who helped, especially someone who got a few PM's from me.One more "mystery part" and I'm done....For now:evilgrin: Quote Selected

Right now I am running fox mustang steeda springs and I'm sick of it!:punchballs: Quote Selected

I'm gonna have to do something soon and I like your setup. I think I'm going to steal your spring setup and steal Chooglin's wheels...lol. Way to be original right? :hick:I may have a set of adjustable CHE LCA's coming up for sale soon...I'm afraid they will have the rearend jacked up too high so the stockers may be going back in.Thanks for the help man.:bowdown: Quote Selected
