Also, I think Koni can build a strut to your specs as well. It might not be cheap the first time, but they offer a rebuilding service as well. Since you are starting with an existing strut, the cost might not be too terrible.
That's a good idea...

I doubt that mustang people lower their cars enough to run out of travel to the bump stop like the BMW people do... My e30 is about 3/4 inch from the stops on flat ground, and its not even low...

I never hit the stops though as I'm running coils with springs ~3x stiffer than stock at 500lbs/inch. Rides nice though. Bags shoud fix the lack of low later though
