Front struts on a stocker

C and W Racing · 06-10-2011, 01:32 PM

Was wondering what the rules are with using aftermarket front struts on a stocker. It is a mustang with the factory coils on the front struts. Can they be replaced with a different type strut, such as an adjustable strut and aftermarket coilover springs? Working on getting better weight transfer and wanting to find a strut with longer travel.
Thanks, Chuck

you can use adjustable struts, but can't change to coil overs.
what year Mustang?

Best of my memory 05 was the first year with an actual coil over strut. Joe
