I honestly dont think you could exceed the cost of a new car buy installing new *stock* parts everywhere in your coug our tbird. Its just plain impossible. You could revamp the entire drivetrain/engine/suspenstion and still come out ahead.

 it look nice an pro....
You remove the stock shox and spring then replace both by this Coilovers?
Was it kind of tough to install?
Was it Plug&play or Plug and Pray?
How much it cost ya?
Where you bought it? I want one! (i meant 2 front and 2 rear)  :dunce:  :giggle:


I have a dumb Question.... The triangular mobile part where the stock spring sits is called, a "A-Arm" right? (I know in french its called a "Table")
I also need new bushing for this part but dont know how its called.... :dunno:

Control arm bushings. There are two on each control arm, a front and a rear.

This tubular Front suspension kit look very interesting.... (Not to say Kick @$$)  :deal:
Sound like a good deal to me.....


UPR Tubular A-Arm/K-Member Coil Over Suspension Kit for 700 bags of sugar...

Wich one is the best fit (?) and what is the Spring Rate? :dunno:  :dunce:

Here's the big question i asked myself....
On Coolcats.net on THIS PAGE Eric said A-Arm for 87-88 Cougar are same as 1994-98 Mustang but UPR sells kit for 1996-2004 or 1979-1995...  Now im totally screwed :screwy:  :screwy:  :wtf:

Which one is for me?

You only have to buy the kit + the Struts? Does it require anything special except the little fitment issue (Spacer... etc) I read about the QA1 in an other thread?

That is a scary-looking K-member if you ask me....a bit too spindly.

You'd want the one for the 79-95...the later K-member is going to be different to allow for room for the 4.6 and the fact that the steering rack sits 1" lower on the 96+ cars as well...  I would imagine they only sell one length of control arm for both kits.  If they offer 2..get the longer one.

I wouldn't use that Kmember on any of my cars though....Maximum's piece is nice...and built.

I wouldn't mind getting a tubular k-member, but I would like to get one that still uses the stock type springs. :grinno:
