    Having never tried to install something like this before, common sense should tell me to do the first one the easy way. I like to kid myself that I'm reasonably competent, but I don't know if this is the sort of job where my ego should have any say in it.
    The price difference would absorb the cost of shipping and still buy a couple of other goodies, but is it worth the extra fooling around.... Gonna have to do some more head scratching on this one.

    A properly matched shock and coil spring is just as good as a coil over
    main reason for coil overs are packaging
    cant really say for adjust-ability, as ridetech and probably a few others make an adjustable shock...but were limited on coil pressure..either use stock, or use mustang drop spring at 620 or w.e they are lol
    will most likely also loose suspension travel when going to coil overs from stock...
    with that being said, worth the upgrade for our cars

    till this thread I never knew about Full Tilt, Will check them out

    btw, hows the install comming?

    coil over setups are generally lighter by design but it just depends on whether or not that extra little bit of transient response is worth it to you, is all.
