Lowering Spring Pic Database

[Foster9887GT]

Post pics of your Lowered Cars and give info on what setup you have. I searched and found old threads that gave good info but were a bit incomplete....This would be a good help for everyone with future questions......Thanks in Advance.

Gee, how about asking about brake upgrades instead?

It's been done before. Also, there's a site that has spring info and a bunch of pictures.

Well I've never seen a place that compared a bunch in one place so I think it's a good idea. Here's mine.

Ford Racing C Springs

If this thread takes off, have folks note if they used spring isolators (and which was/were omitted). I'm always shocked at the numbers that don't use 'em, and that makes a huge difference in ride height. The info would be more valuable knowing that.

Eibach sportline w/ isos

 

[iwashmycar]

FRPP 'B' springs with no rear isolators. The B's tend to give a huge rake..the last pic is with the isolators still in. I also really needed C/C plates as i murdered 2 new front tires after install

Thanks for supporting the thread guys...keep'em comming...

 

[85_SS_302_Coupe]

Eibach Pro Kit, with Energy Suspension isolators. We should probably also note if any of the springs were cut before/after installation because a lot of guys do that. For example i'm probably going to take a coil off the back on mine because it's got a bit of rake to it.

Sure I'll contribute, why not?

These are Eibach Sportline Springs with Poly Isolators on 245/50R16 tires. I would also like to note that these were used springs before I installed them so they may sit a tad lower than new Sportlines.

It's nice to see another stang sporting those Centerlines, your car is the only other fox I've seen with those. We have them on the 90.

Did you ever price a new set? They are crazy expensive, I think something like 300$ per wheel last time I looked for a 16x8.
