sorry Chris. forgot to check back on this post. i know this is a thread revival, but i figured i would at least answer your questions. see below. fwiw, i would definitely sell this on your website. they don't get enough attention for their build quality and great ride.
hope this helps!
Great write-up/install!
The new stance definitely looks great!
thx
Have you thrown it into some corners with them on yet?
i've hucked it into plenty of corners.
How does the car "turn-in" with them? More responsive or less?
after the alignment & corner balance, the car turned in really well. this is with 2° of camber and toe set to 0. there was an instance where i had a little toe out up front and it was too aggressive. if i wasn't careful, the back would rotate too much going into a corner, which is fun, but ultimately slower and scarier (with my driving ability).
Is there more "feel"/"connection" to the steering does it feel like?
honestly, this felt the same.
What are your camber/alignment settings?
see above
How do they feel on the highway!?
pretty good. i've had coilovers before (different cars) and these definitely have an emphasis on being streetable. they're comfortable.
What spring-rates are they?
this i don't know for sure. i know that KW v3 coilovers are ~380 lbs/in springs in the front and progressive in the rear. i think it's safe to assume these are the same or a little less than that.
Have you launched the car yet? How do these do to help control wheel hop?
it controlled wheel hop; however, i wouldn't say that they made it hook significantly better.
Why are you changing them? Didn't like them or just upgrading?
i upgraded to KW clubsports--those are much much harsher by comparison (~570lb/in springs in front, ~370lb/in in the back *i think*)
Have you had other coil-overs in the past, if so, what brand/model?
not on a mustang, but on other cars, I've had Tein Flex, KW v1s, and FK coilovers. the KWs had similar ride quality to these. the Teins were pretty stiff. FKs were junk (bad shock valving and non-adjustable, so i had to live with them).
I've been trying to get us to get more coil-overs and I'd like to hear you opinion on them, if possible
these will genuinely make a mustang easier to flick around and rotate on command. i think an AWESOME streetable setup would be getting coilovers like this with some adjustable swaybars to fine tune it to your liking.
hope this helps!
