    I'm looking for real life experiences,please. I already replaced my rear springs with no apparent change in stance. My front springs of unknown origin are getting soft. I want to know how much to cut to maintain stock height with "new" stock 5.0 front springs. Thanks

    Lowering/Sport springs for 2.3

    got my turbo motor and looking for advice

    I haven't done it yet but I've read lots. I would look at 3" exhaust all the way back. Port the head. Then see where you are. Definitely some kind of intercooler.
