shocks for lowered stang question
 

ok, when I get springs (H&R sport) I know I need a shorter shock. So do I only need it for the front? or do I need to replace the back as well?

So, shocks from 87-93 should be what I need. Should I just buy it as a set or just the fronts? They are exactly the same price individually on stang- suspension, but the 4 piece set for 87-93 is $8 dollars cheaper.

Also, anyone know a discount code for stang-suspension?????

You can use the -93 struts, but get 99-04 shocks. Which dampers are you looking at getting? The only reason to use the shorter -93 struts is to regain some bump-travel.

I'm looking to get a set of Illuminas. This summer I will be going up north and traveling quite a bit. I need new shocks anyways, I'm getting more roll than I used to. I'm at 70K the stockers. I figured with the more road tripping I'll be doing, why not get something where I can soften the ride on long trips. Hence, Illumnias and while I'm in there,,,,springs.

I really like the illuminas. I do the same thing also, soften them for the long trip to college and back and then stiffen them up a little for driving around town, and tune them in for AutoX.

with MM C/C plates you need standard length struts (according to Chris at MM)

really?!, because MM has a set specifically for lowered stangs.....P/N TOK-5

right...those are fox body struts with sn95 shocks...but...and this is just what Chris told me last week (i'm definitely not an expert)

with MM c/c plates use the package for Stock ride height to retain maximum bump travel (we were talking about 1.5 inch lowering springs as well)

the stock ride height packages from MM are TOK-2 for Illuminas and TOK-4 for blues

I haven't seen the "mixed" combination on stangsuspension but give Josh a call or use his live tech chat and he can probably help you out

You can use stock length struts with the MM c/c plates but only becuase you can use the spacers to regain it. I'd still use the Fox spec sticks.
