$75? are they used? even if they are bad for some reason 75 bones isn't anything to really worry about If for any reason you don't pick them up best alternative is the Ford Handling Kit (example here http://blueovalindustries.com/products.php?pid=99011423&openparent=1 , can be found cheaper)

If you're too concerned you can pick up some KYB's, they are cheap and reliable, better than stock

specs FRPP C Springs
Front Springs 650 lb/in.
Rear Springs 200-300 lb/in.
besides quotes for lowering it's about 1-1.5 for the front's




you don't really need C/C Plates most of the time, but the way mustangs come from the facotry it's hit-or-miss when it comes to lowering and needing the additional adjustments that come from plates

which kyb's are matched well to the c springs?
btw, what springs do you have in your pic?

either KYB or adjustable are good enough, they make shocks that hold up better and i believe they still have the limited lifetime warrenty with them, you can also look at tokicos blue's, which people have matched great with C's

I have some junk springs on, they were the only thing i had laying around at the time so i can have a better than 4X4 look, saggy sprotlines

 

[Rickyll7]

so you do recomend getting these USED c springs for the $75 and the tokicos blue? where can i get these?

 

[Rickyll7]

Any input from anyone, please...

You can get the Tokicos for about $300 from stangsuspension, I think this will be the cheapest place or ebay.

How are the KYB AGX adjustable Struts and shocks?

$488 For all 4 shocks.

 

[Rickyll7]

So is it bilstein or tokico? which is better for the c springs.
and what about the ball joints?
do i really need them?
