k2 kit opinions
i purchased the k1 and k2 spring kits here on shopforum. does anyone have a preference between the MB k2 kit and the Superior kit? I originally bought the MB kit because I thought the springs are weakend over 25 years and millions of shifts and it should return it back to the designed performance. The superior kit seems to have more options. anyone done the MB kit? I have heard opinions on the superior kit, my experience with aftermarket shift kits in the past is that they are too harsh for a car like these. my 5.0 mustang with the shift kit chirped the shifts, which was fine for that car since I was generally in the pedal all the time anyway, but the coupe will never have that performance and i prefer to not even notice it shifted.

I have not installed either of the shift kits - but - i know that one of the explicit purposes of the superior kit is to soften the 1-2 shift. From what Ive read the superior is kit is meant to make all of the shifts equal, so then you can tune them with the vacuum system. Once you have the superior kit in hand I remember reading that they have different options to fix different problems - harsh, flare and stack shifts.
Im interested in your results either way... dd

im going to try the MB kit. if I can figure it out with all the same color springs and superior instructions. I figure if it doesnt work I can try the superior kit. I am hoping to find an obvious issue like a broken spring.
