Guys I am going to upgrade my suspension a bit in the coming week, and I was looking for some oppinions and advice.

-I replaced the front air bags last fall as they were sinking, so those are done.
-I noticed that my rear sinks now too so I'm replacing the rear bags as well those bags as well.
-My compressor is going to go out soon; the rattling is getting louder and lasting longer, so thats going to be replaced.
-I would like to get the Cobra Bilstien shocks for the rear: where can I get them for a reasonable price?
-What about an upper shock mount? I've heard of someone making a solid metal one, but do I need anything special to mount the cobra shocks on there?
-I'm going with the 1 1/4 Addco sway bar in the back also.

If you guys have good experience with a compressor from a certain vendor, please let me know as I'd like to make this one last. Thanks for any comments or advice.
 
I have read that the Cobra Bilsteins ride pretty rough.
There is someone on markviii.org selling solid mounts. I think I am going to make my own mounts when I change my rear shocks.
If you search through the posts here you will find one where someone burned the rubber out of the Mark VIII mounts, and used t-bird shocks.
 
Ray and some others here will tell you to buy the compressor from Eddie from Americanairsuspension.com . Supposedly he rebuilds them better than original for around $160.
 
I have several sets of the ford racing cobra Bilsteins P/N M-18125-ROO sets left in stock and they list for $159.95 and LVC cost is $120.00 plus UPS.

IMHO, id keep the bags in the rear, and put some tough a$$ coil overs up front. Stock sway in the front, and the biggest aftermarket sway you can find, in the rear. Youll have a car that has almost neutral handling, quite a decent ride, and a KILLER on the drag strip.
 
hay mike, what are the most agressive front coil overs you can buy?
