What are the front shock springs in Martins kit? Any oem shock replacement suggestion
 
What type of front shock spring are in Martins kit, are they Fords, Chevy etc? Or are they a custom item he built specifically for the kit? What would be a good replacement shock for the oem shock? The car will not be tracked strictly road driven. Thanks for any suggestions.

Question has me slightly confused, but if you are asking what front spring Martin's Kit has I believe it is out of the rear of a F0RD Taurus wagon rated at k= 450lb/in and the stock Fronts are used in the rear Rated k=164lb/in. As to what shocks, I don't know, I chose the KYB - AGX series for my street driven build. Wanted to use "BILLYS" from an 04 Sport but were way to pricey for me!! I understand the V-Maxx set up is the way to go for all around quality at a budget price.

Thank you Movieboy You answered my question I was wondering what he used for the front spring. For the shocks suggestion as well. Your build looks great nice craftsmanship! Thanks again.
