    Default Installing coil overs

    Hi guys newbie here, I have a question about my 89 Mustang GT. Im wanting to install coil overs in the rear of the car, what all is involved in doing this? Is there any special parts involved or is it a straight bolt in? Thanks in advance Sparky!

    Also Im wanting to install a baseline suspention anti roll bar that connects to the axle housing and was wondering if I can weld my roll cage to the support bar that goes across the frame rails? Thanks again Sparky!

    rear coilovers are straight forward except you have to enlarge the rear shock mounting hole for the coilover kit.

    I dont have them on my Mach1...but my old car I did. I used the JDS performance kit. (kinda like granatelli kit). the Comp engineering kit is made a lot better IMO

    I just did a mini tub on a mustang and used the Hal/QA1 kit. it comes with the brackets for the top and bottom. You can also check out team Z's website to see how they do that.

    are you wanting a stock location coil over or a completely new set up?

    i have coil overs in the stock location with a D&D kit.

    and if you havent bought the anti-roll bar yet. but it from TeamZ. better quality. and your money stays in Michigan. Dave has them on sale from time to time.

    if your going to daily drive this car. dont use this type of anti-roll bar, unless you leave it unhooked for daily driving. i drive my car on the street with a TeamZ ARB, but i take it easy around the corners and steep driveways.
