Thanks guys for the photos and info. I'm now looking at other springs, I just want something ride and handle well with a small drop. I'd like to have Mach/Bullitt springs, but they're $300 for new.

I like the stance of your car. I just hope my car rides a lot better than it does now with the stock stuff. What other suspension mods do you have? When I do the springs/shocks/struts I'd like to do MM or Steeda full length SFCs.
Ride better? No. Handle better? Yes. Any time you put lowering springs on a car, ride quality WILL suffer to SOME extent. I can't speak for Mach/Bullitt springs, but those don't exactly "slam" your car either.
When I went from c springs to Mach springs, handling stayed the same and ride quality improved. It only makes sense because the spring rates of c springs and Mach springs is virtually identical. (650 vs 600 lbs linear front, 250 linear vs 300-200 progressive rear). The improvement in ride came from having suspension travel back. The c springs were too low and too racked and any decent bump would bottom out the struts.
I lifted the car up, but when I turn, it feels pretty much the same as when the car had the c springs.
After I put CC plates on my car, the front left sits about .5 inch lower than the front right.
I like the slight rake look with the B springs. So the front spring rates on B's are 425/530 and the C's are 650 - so do these numbers represent firmness?
And with Bullitt/Mach 1 springs, I'm guessing they don't offer much of a drop?
Bringing this post back from the dead...
well I still haven't decided on what spring to get and I've doing a lot of reading. I've been looking high and low for Bullitt springs, but no luck.
And now I'm thinking I don't want to use B springs because the fronts have the same rate as stock springs. So now I'm considering C springs, but I'm worried they'll ride really rough. Would a 4 cyl. swaybar help with the C springs?
This is my car with B springs, I have no complaints.
