What lowering springs are you guys using on ur 99+ stangs?

[yellow1995Cobra]

Im gonna get my girlfriend a set of lowering springs for her 03 v6 mustang for her bday. Im just wondering what you guys recommend? Also will she need a set of caster camber plates to get a correct alignment?

With any lowering springs you guys come up with, can you just let me know how much of a drop it will give?

Thanks alot.

I have steeda around 1.25 inches all around. No no plates where needed, but, same installation time and money I would go ahead and put plates on at the same time! You get a better alignment with them

Try www.gefracing.com they have the C springs from ford for pretty cheap and I hear the drop is about an 1" to 1 1/2". Or you could go with eibach they drop it about the same. I think fords C springs are the best bet, cheap and work nicely from what I hear. or are you looking for more of a drop like 2" or more??


here is the exact link, $110 bucks

I'm using MAC progressive rate springs. Drop was almost 2 inches. CC plates are needed with them. My ride is still pretty smooth and the drop was what I wanted. More than 2 inches and you're looking at scraping the crap outta the car over speed bumps and driveways and stuff though.

I'm running Steeda as well but with KYB struts from a 93 and back (1" shorter) stiff and some of the daily smooth is gone (watch the coffee). I don't have c/c plates but do have offset rack bushings. I am running 25 3/4 front , and 27 1/4 rear and yes you have to watch the speed bumps. I had eibach sportlines which were great for a daily driver but didn't compliment any of the chassis mods i have done and they became a weak link.

Thanks for all the replies guys...

Well she wants to buy a set of 18inch saleen rims, and lower it. Shes really into the lowered look.. I dont care much for it on my car since i need the weigh transfer. But i think her car will look great once its all said and done. I have talked to a few people with "C" springs which are very happy with them so i think that may be the route i go. I think a 1-1/2 inch drop with 18" rims will look good. You guys agree?

Thanks again

That'll look pretty sweet. 18's are pretty huge though.

I think it will look very stylish! For drag racing though like you said not so functional with such big wheels and an anemic motor!

Yeah that's not the best combo for a fast car.

yeah, make sure she's sure about the 18's. i ordered 17's and they sent 18's, so i was psyched a first, but they were WAY to big on my car, so i had them send me the 17's. I think they look pretty good, check out my link below.

DONT buy steeda they are over piced ford C springs.... if you want a 1.25 drop that is noticable but not super low, then go with the FMS c springs cut 3/4 coil on back and leave the top front isolator out (i did perfect drop to have with out scrapin issues) if you want a 1.5 or more for a more clean look then i would get the H&R springs from www.maximummotorsports.com if she has the oem rims.... you should replace them asap check out www.gefracing.com for rim deals that with a drop will look really really good.

 

[03CrazyStang]

I would go with Steeda sport springs
