Suspension upgrade
93Ford:
I finally got my car running and driving and wow are the shocks totally gone. With 4 people in it, the tires are almost rubbing the fenders. What shocks are recommended to use. I'm mainly looking for comfort and smooth driving rather than performance.
srgtlord:
Closest to stock is the best. Get some Bilstein shocks and german replacement springs and parts all the way around.
93Ford:
I found a complete kit on ebay all genuine Bilstein shocks with all the bushings and hardware for 280. Its a stock design twin tube. Seems to be a good deal at least compared to the 500+ dollar shocks that i cant afford.
93Ford:
Who makes a good set of springs that dont cost a fortune. Want stock height dont want to lower it. Im going to try the old springs that i have but if their to worn then ill need some new ones.
fatmobile:
Glad to hear it's running and moving.
So you got the AC/alternator parts sent?
I like to put a 2" spacer on the rear shock so it doesn't ride too low with a load.
Usually a spring seat with a 2" piece of exhaust pipe, then the real spring seat on top of that.
