I need to ask...why only the front?
If you could use adjustable QA1 shocks (not coil over), I know of a vendor that had a low mileage shop car set available just a few weeks ago. Let me know...

I've been wanting to move to coil overs for a while. Just acquired some T1 bars and with the holidays, cash is tight. Thought I could piece together my coil overs, 1 set at a time. In the mustang crowd when I had mine, I bought the fronts then the rears.

I understand. The adjustable QA1 shocks were offered to me at a great price, but I decided to put them off. The vendor said they were on the shop car for a very short period of R&D use.
I thought I might be able to find another buyer for them for the vendor. He may not have them any longer anyway.

My $0.02 is just put that money in the bank and let it get a few cents interest while you save for the full set. That way you can install at the same time and properly corner-weight and allign the car.

The real magic of coil-overs is in the car setup, not really that they make the car grip the road better than the oem transferse leafs and shocks.

The coil overs should be done as a full package. Give me a call, we can work out something.
