I'm biased, but I recommend scrapping the live axle in favor of the Cobra rear end. I really have no reason for saying that...none at all...nope .
It won't be under $400, but figure I paid $700 for my IRS and maybe another $300 in other parts to make it all live harmoniously with the rest of my Mustang. If you want handling, you really can only go so far with a live axle. Save your bones for an IRS...imho.
My last part was aimed at no one in particular. I just know that their are some people who like to recommend parts when they have no idea what they do or whether they are quality or not, they just recommend them based off of what other people say about them.
The one guy is right about the Tokico's off of a Mach 1 being the same spec. I have Mach 1 spec Tokico's and I love them, not too stiff but a huge improvement over the stock pieces.
I am not sure if you were responding to me about the Bilsteins? I do not remember saying anything about them? I do not particularly like them but I know a lot of people who do and will swear by them.
I am just saying that the guy could spend 600-700 in parts and install them all himself and be more than happy with the result. I know I was at first and I care a lot more about suspension than most people do.
I understand.... My Bilstein comment was aimed at the OP, sorry for confusion.
I just see many people buy one thing...then another....then something else....then relize at some point one of those parts doesn't work out.
I personally would never put a used shock on anything. Its got to work on a vehicle for X amount of miles, then you take it off, put it on your car, usually with lowering springs and then you make it work even harder.
Just seems like a waste of time.
