That sounds like a nice combination.

I have a couple of suspension questions. How do you like the 5 lea springs? How firm is the ride? Are those the mid eye? How do you like the 1" front swaybar? Would you stay with that or go to the 1-1/8"? What rear swaybar kit did you use? What shocks are you using?

Thanks in advance!

That is a very nice set up you have. Might I ask what size tires are you running?

Jeff,

The ride is quite firm, but not harsh, 5 leaf mid eye rear springs,

i can't remember if the stock front sway bar is 13/16 or 7/8, but the

1" made a big difference. I'm sure 1 1/8 would make a difference also.

the rear sway was a kit from mustangsplus.com. Right now i'm just using

stock shocks, but plan to install Edelbrock IAS shocks soon. my mach

corners very flat with no float but will do even better with the Elderbrocks.

hope this helps.

Jayson,

I'm running P225/70R/14

Thank you Darryl. I am debating in my mind whether to go with a 1" or 1-1/8" front bar.

Thank you Darryl. I am debating in my mind whether to go with a 1" or 1-1/8" front bar.

I think i'd go with a 1-1/8", i might try it myself.
