Coilover Question - 2/27/2007 10:23:07 PM    ajmodelski   Posts: 183 Joined: 9/21/2006 Status: offline How stiff are coil overs? Are they going to be much stiffer than H&R race springs? and what are the ride height ranges for the coilovers. Can I just lower my car like 2 inches instead of like 4? And were I to not get coil overs. How important are the shocks/struts I get. If I were to get the H&R springs, what are good shocks to get. And last question, Would i really need CC plates? or can I not get them and be ok with an alignment? Post #: 1

RE: Coilover Question - 2/27/2007 10:32:50 PM    STANGSUSPENSION   Posts: 494 Joined: 5/2/2004 Status: offline I will answer all of your questions... thank you for inquiring about our company and products... 1. The stiffness of the coil-overs will depend on the spring rate you choose. We have many different spring rate options to choose from.  You cannot compare easily a coil-over spring rate to a regular (stock location) spring rate.   Coil-over springs will provide a much higher level of performance vs. the ride comfort. Meaning even though the coil-over spring is stiffer, it will provide a smoother and more comfortable ride.   To compare to the H&R Race springs...   you can go with a 300lb/in spring for example on a coil-over.... and have a MUCH higher level of performance and comfort than the H&R Race... 2. With the Maximum Motorsports coil-over kits, you can lower your car 0-3 inches safely.   You have a wide range of adjustment to fit your liking. 3. Shocks & struts are always important whenever switching to a higher spring rate... whether it be regular springs or a coil-over kit. 4. You will need CC plates on a coil-over kit, no matter what height. The CC Plates provide structural support for the front coil-over kit, as well as help align the car.   With regular springs, you will need CC plates with any spring over 1.25 inches... _____________________________ Josh Sadowsky http://www.stangsuspension.com Mustang suspension parts and performance.

RE: Coilover Question - 3/3/2007 5:55:57 PM    STANGSUSPENSION   Posts: 494 Joined: 5/2/2004 Status: offline The difference is one has springs... one does not.  If you look at the picture & description you will see this information... The spring rate is completely up to you...   you can choose a range from 250 (very soft drag racing), up to 475 (race car).  It is really up to you... _____________________________ Josh Sadowsky http://www.stangsuspension.com Mustang suspension parts and performance.
