What kind of springs are included and any chance of a third-gen package that is roughly the same?

What all are these shocks? How are they mouting up to the factory front suspension? The rears are the Mustang shocks correct?

As for 3rd gens, the rear shocks are the same, but at this time the only thing we offer for the front is a coil-over conversion kit for the factory or aftermarket strut.

On 4th gens, the front shocks mounts similar to QA1s. However, we will be offering 2 different spring packages. The standard spring will be the QA1 #OED315S because it easily mounts in the factory upper spring cup. Our upgrade spring will include a different upper mounting cup to utilize a conventional coil over spring. This allows a much broader choice of spring rates to maximize the potenial energy of the front suspension, therefore improving weight transfer. This spring kit is designed for drag racing only.

As for the rear shocks, these are not the standard Mustang shock. While those shocks will fit, they are slightly longer stroke and could potentially bottom out on a lowered car. Our new shocks are the correct length and feature an all aluminum body instead of the steel body of the Mustang shock.

We are currently assembling several of the first kits, so we'll keep you posted.

Thanks

We now have the Single Adjustable Rear Shocks in stock and ready to ship. These are a direct replacement design that have a fixed, speed sensitive compression setting and a 10 way adjustable extension setting. Through January, these will be available for $129 ea.

Our front shock packages should be ready next week.

Thanks
