coilover vs. must.ll

Looking for anyone out there with knowledge of the differences in handling of these set-ups?

Re: coilover vs. must.ll

do you mean coil-over vs. non-coil over on a mustang 2?

the spring rates and shock valving would be the main factor. the main benefit of coil-overs is adjustable ride height, and a wide range of spring rates available

I will probably go with air air ride suspension that replaces the spring and shock for the adjustability. Air ride was not an a practicle option about 6 years ago. I do say that the mustang II has a great ride as it is now. But it doesn't do well going down my dirt road that low to the ground.
