What Springs to use?

[429Mustang429]

I have a 1989 'vert that will soon be turned into a high performance street strip car and i was curious to see what you guys thought about the suspension setups out there. I have a tubular k-member, but i want to remain with the factory spring and strut setup (no coil-overs). I'd like the car to sit as close to stock or possiably a little lower if possiable. I would really love to be able to have that ultimate weight transfer and be able to rip the front wheels up at the track.

I have a set of moroso front drag coils, as well as a set of 90/10 lakewoods, but the problem is, i dont want to try and get on it through a corner and have the front end lift.

I have also checked into other drag springs and i understand the principal of the rear passenger side spring being taller so you can launch level, but i feel that would affect my cornering ability.

I hear that the 4 cylinder springs have good weight transfer?

I know that the 1999-2004 stangs handle like a dream, but will they fit/are they a good idea on a fox?

So far, my plans are to get a set of adjustable koni's, that way i can adjust the struts/shocks according to what i may be planning on doing that night. And if i come across a time when i need to adjust, i can pop the trunk and hood and simpy twist a knob.

Now i just need to figure out what springs to use. Any suggestions??

the eibach pro kit has a good stance, it doesnt lower it too much.

Make a decision. You can't have both. If you want it to corner, it aint going to pull the wheels. Good control arms, steeda drag spring, your 90-10s and adj. rears. Unhook the front swaybar at the track. This combo isn't bad. If you want a corner carver get the eibach pro kit and bilsteins. To pull the wheels with eibach pros you will need slicks and buttload of power.

01 Bullitt Springs, Struts, and Shocks are a nice upgrade on a Fox.
