coil over
I have some exessive noise in the front suspension. I want to just rebuild the entire thing with a coil over system in the front, but I have a question..
If I get coil over springs and struts, do I need a tubular k member and control arms? Or can I just get the coil over springs and struts, and bolt them into the stock k-member and control arm?
I know I have to buy special camber plates for them also..
Just looking for someone to shed some light...
Thank you!

Thank you!
Also, who has a good coil over setup at a decent price? The eibach ones I see are expensive! I see some on ebay for pretty cheap? But I dont know about the quality of them?
Also, will those tubular control arms work with the stock k-member?

Yes you can put the tubular control arms on a stock k-member. As far as what coil overs to get I would go with Maximum Motorsports. Don't know what other kits go for but you can get the front kit for about $369 w/springs. Don't go cheap.

What website has them? Thats a good price. I was planning on converting just the front, along with the tubular control arms. I imagine converting just the front wont create any problems?

stangsuspension.com has a good price. I don't want to tell what to do but I would suggest not doing the control arms and do the rear coil overs. This will give you a nice balance. I would think if you did coil over in the front and kept the springs in the rear the handle just wouldn't be right.

I'd recommend MM coil over kit, 350#x12"x2.5" front springs, CC plates, tubular A-arms w/ poly bushings.
You'll need to chop a little tab of metal out of the stock k-member at the a-arm attach points so they'll clear. The noise you're getting is probably from the steering rack bushings. Get new ones made from poly-urethane (grease them well). I'd avoid aluminum rack bushings on the stock k-member.
The above is a good solid setup for a street car. It will not help drag times (probably make them worse) but it'll be a new car as far as street and corners. I'd also recommend a PHB for the rear. You'll find out after the CO install how wiggly the rear end is without it.
Arts Parts on corral.net has really good MM prices.
