i did a search and dident find any good names can anyone tell me what they have in the front and rear. pics if possible?
For street or for racing? Fo the street, a standard replacment gas-charged Monroe or Gabriel is excellent for the suspensions of these cars. They're about $11.00 each. No need for expensive Konis or KYBs. It makes no sense how some people put expensive shocks on Mavericks with no other suspension upgrades. If you're using your car for a lot of drag racing, You'll want something different, and probably with 90/10 bias up front...
i would say a good shock would be...going out in the morning and your mav. isn't there... ...frank...
what about a occasional drive around town.. and a trip to the drag strip occasionally... would a 90/10 or 80/20 be good? i have the basic shocks from autozone and they have a lot of movement in there.. of course i am using basic 302 springs that i cut one link out of.. so i am sure i could go with a stiffer spring but what will that do to weight transfer? thanks
I have KYB's on the front & rear. They ride good enough considering I drive hard from time to time. My suspension is not stock either.
What's a good shock? You're wife/girlfriend saying, "Honey, I insist that you let me stab that transmission for you while you relax and enjoy a couple of cold ones. I'll be right back with a chilled mug - but let me untie those boots of yours first."
I have the KYB Gas-A-Just along with other suspension upgrades-that's for you TL. They are stiff-that along with the other upgrades make it handle more than I need it to. But, it is a stiff ride. Hitting bumps is not fun. Seth
I noticed that suspension has gotten harsh also. It didn't matter to me. The wheels are so close to the fenders that I needed that.
Harsh.. what a bunch of #@$$^! j/k!!! KYB harsh? that ain't nothing! try driving on coil overs.. if you want a nice ride buy a new car IMO even for a every day car i think KYBs still make a differance with or without stock suspension... been there done that... i still like that KYB's and for $24.99 you can't get a better handling ride! but if your worried the ride or if your a #@$$^! j/k!!!! just get Monroes for like 11 bucks. also you guys have to know they do make two differant KYB's Gas-A-Just and GR-2s GR-2 have a way softer ride and now they only make GR-2s for the rear of our cars.. no more Gas-A-Just ones for the rears.
If you want plush, you can always buy a 67-70 cougar. they ride pretty plush for a car this size. it was nicer than my uncles 65 mustang or the other ones 69 mustang. not sure why other than a little extra weight or the stance. i personally like to feel the curves and a few bumps.
