I was thinking about lowering my 89' na since ive put my cobra wheels on. I have already blew most my tax money, and dont have alot of cash right now. I saw these lowering springs on ebay and they are pretty cheap, but im not sure of the ride quality of them. I also saw a set of Maxspeed springs that were about the same price. my question is...has anyone used these before, and are they a waste of my time and money? Should I just wait another month or two until i have some extra cash and just buy some FMS or eibachs? Thanks http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=7970077655&category=33582
Those look crappy to me. I'd save up the extra $20 or so and buy new FMS springs, or look on eBay or Corral for a good deal on used springs. Brian
I wouldn't buy 2" drop springs anyway, that's the limit on a mustang before you start screwing up the geometry. I never understood why but all the "cheap" springs for Mustangs drop it 2" or 2.5". You'd be better off with something that drops the car about an inch.
so are the eibach sprotlines too extreme? I want it to be low, but i dont wanna screw my car up. so now im down to the FMS springs or the eibach pro series? any suggestion? or are there any other good springs out there i dont know about?
I went with the FMS "C" springs on my 2.3 notch and at first I absolutely hated them. They were the roughest riding springs I have ever used. They have been on there a couple of months now and have mellowed out quite a bit. I have never had a set of springs that changed that extremely during the break in period. They still dont ride as nice as the Pro-kit's on my 90 5.0 but theres a lot more nose weight there. All in all, for the price I would say I am satisfied with them. The car handles alot tighter with the springs and GT sway bars than it did when I got it. My only complaint is that it sits too high. I think the "c" springs actually sit higher than the worn 4-cyl springs. If I did it again, I would probably trim a half coil all the way around, maybe even a full coil in the front. Im not usually one to recomend cutting springs, but I think that if you get the FMS springs and expect it to drop you will be dissapointed. I will probably pull them back out and trim them one of these days when I have nothing better to do.
well i definetly want my car lowered, not just handle better. i was looking at pics of ash's car i think it was. he has the pro kit on his ride and they look pretty good, but i want it a tiny bit lower than his. but over all, i like them. i guess the only choice i have is the pro-kit. i dont have $250 bucks right now, so i guess ill have to wait a few weeks. thanks for the feedback guys.
