Default 1987 Mustang LX, front struts and springs with 460
For my 87 lx, i was weary of what suspenstion set up i should order. Im going to need some very stiff struts because of the engine im using being so heavy(460). Any ideas?

Strange 10-ways with a coilover kit would be the way to go with a 460 in there, once you have that set up then you just choose which spring rate you need and set the ride height wherever you need it.
