Alright, we're getting ready to redo the suspension on the car (81k miles and everything original, rides like shit). Wheres a good company to get a spring/shock/camber plate package?

I want to run H&R super sport springs and only place i've found that offer those in a package is MM. I know MM is awesome, but 1200 dollars for springs/shocks/camber plates/isolators? Or is that a good price for everything?

Does anyone know of any other place that has a package with those springs?

Need some suggestions and i forgot all the mustang sites since i really dont care about it anymore, but my dad is just now in the "lets mod the mustang" mood. He's a little slow.
 
What is the car being used for? Daily driver? Weekend cruiser? How are the roads where you live? The H&R super sport springs will give you a big drop. I believe it is 1.8" in front and 1.6" in back. The front end might scrape going up driveways, on uneven pavement, or if you hit a pothole. I went with Steeda sport spings/bumpsteer kit/ball joints, Bilstein shocks/struts, and MM caster/camber plates. My car is a daily driver so I didn't really want anything that lowers the car over 1.25". If I didn't drive it year round, I would've went with H&R Sport springs. If bilsteins are too expensive for you, look into Tokico shocks/struts. Either Maximum Motorports or Steeda caster/camber plates will work.

Mostly just cruising duties. Roads are good down here. No snow plows = no potholes.

Car rarely gets driven.

I'm pretty dead set on the H&R super sports. Lookin to get close to a 2" drop all the way around.

i'd look into steeda x2 ball joints then too to correct the angle of the front control arms. when u add a big drop they will no longer be parallel to the ground. shorter sway bar end links are a good idea too. but u say the car barely gets driven so i guess its not necessary.

i think tokico makes a decent product. guess they were good enough for ford to use them from the factory on bullits/mach 1's. i had tokico blues/eibach prokit on my notch and was pretty happy with them. i did have to replace one of the rear shocks though cuz it was leaking fluid. i am running tokico d-specs/H&R race springs on the cobra and i like it a lot better then the eibach's. its a lot stiffer and has a more crisp feel.

oh i know that i need the x2 ball joints and such. I'm simply lookin for places with good prices.
