Does Anyone Make A Bolt On And Go Coilover Kit?

[mob]

See if we can get a few solid answers about the UPR kits here.....

I agree, I'd be interested in the UPR rears depending on what shocks they can fit.

looks like a nice pair, once you go coilover you'll never go back~!!!

Cant wait! Surprised more people dont go coilover.

i wish a company like rokkor or raceland would make a set i know they would be cheap but they would be effective.

Thanks.

We actually offer two options for bolt on coilovers in the Fox Body Mustangs.

One style is the sleeved coilover setup like this:

The aluminum sleeve slips over the shocks. We have this setup for Strange, Lakewood, and stock shocks.


The other style setup is what you'd call a true coilover, like this:

http://www.uprproducts.com/mustang-rear-coil-over-kit-springs-shocks-qa1.html

With this setup (like the used QA1s the OP already picked up) the shock body itself is threaded, so the springs are thread directly onto the shocks with the adjusting collars. It's quite nice, but it's more money than the coilovers sleeve style.

agreed. I have the race lands on my dd (installed from PO) and I think it's an amazing ride. Now I'll never do anything but coilovers.

Hey Sharad, just want to clarify, it's the same kit for Strange, Lakewood, and stock shocks right? So say if I want to put the kit on stock shocks and upgrade to Strange shocks later on I wont need to buy a new kit correct? COUNT ME IN!!

 

[David Pepiton]

what kit will fit KYB G2s?

ill be honest $600 plus shipping is a lot of cheddar for only the rear set of coilovers.

well I do want to share that raceland sent me an email that ill post up:

here is my email to raceland/ rokkor:

Comment: Hello,

I've been looking for a set of coilovers for the foxbody mustang (79-93) and was curious if you might have anything in the works. I and many others have noticed a hug gap in the coilover market for the (79-95) mustang market which are basically all the same most kits seem to be slip over systems. and many are looking for a reasonably priced coil over kit for street and light track use.

Thanks in advance,

David Pepiton

We have a different part number for the Strange and Lakewood. I believe the stock shocks fit the Lakewood kit. I'll PM you my cell number, and if you have more specific questions you can let me know.

Thanks.

Coooooool, wonder how much $$$$$$ though.

 

[David Pepiton]

well considering there most expensive kits are $469 id be willing to bet it would be less then that hell i would be willing to spend more if the product was good and of quality

Hey guys dumb question on the rear coil overs. When you go to coilovers must you keep lower control arms? Or do the lower control arms no longer serve any purpose? I am wondering if I go with rear coilovers if I can sell my upr adjustable lower control arms and springs, and throw my stock lower control arms with no springs on just so that I can keep the sway bar. Or if I will still be benefiting from the upr adjustables.

 

[David Pepiton]

yeah you still have to keep LCAs but they dont hold the spring anymore. you could sell them and still use some form of upgraded LCA just doesnt need to be ride height adjustable. but length adjustable will still help

 

[mob]

well my upr adjustables don't adjust the height of the spring, they are adjustable where it mounts to the chasis so they adjust the position of the axle. So I should keep them you are saying?

[David Pepiton]

well if your wanting to reinstall your sway bar then youll need to change it out since they dont look to have anywhere to attach the sway bars too. im sure someone will want those if you decide to sell or heck even trade just keep in mind you will no longer need the spring purch

 

[mob]

Sorry those were just a generic picture, the ones I have do have mounts for the sway bar.

 

[srtthis]

the rear UPRs will go on the shock like any coil over
the UPR lower arms you have will still serve a purpose since it will hold the axle in location and wont have deflection like the stock stuff does.

 

[bentley429isBAC]

Honestly Mob, I think you should keep your stock springs and invest in a set of good shocks. Your car shouldn't need anymore then that.

 

[mob]

You talking about the rear? I know my car doesnt need coilovers, but I want to be able to adjust the height. I am still considering going with weight jackers in the rear, but the price is about the same anyways...

 

[bentley429isBAC]

Yea sorry I am talking about the rear. How much are you looking to adjust it? As in just lower the rear of the car? I cut 3/4 of a coil out of stock ones for my car and it sit perfect. Until I put a weight ballast in the trunk so I had to put uncut ones in.
