Tony Posted September 6, 2012 Report Share Posted September 6, 2012 part of my redo on my car is changing my suspension. i'm actually getting h&r lowering springs to get it back up a little, lol. lowering springs to raise lmao! but i want the car to perform better and ride better. i'm doing a vortech s/c and trying to drive around on fuggin pins a needles wont be any fun, lol. so the car is getting a lift. thinking prolly bout an inch after i put these on. i'll post pics when i do it and hopefully you fellas will dig it.i already have another wing (94-98 xenon) then i am going to a 19" wheel and vortech super charger polished. think the whole reason my car looks so ricey is simply the wing. the body kit still keeps the mustang look but the wing is waaaay too big. so when all is done over the next few months i think i'll have the car i've been wanting.ordering the springs from am tomorrow for 2 fiddy. cant wait to feel the difference in the ride......

DOHC GT Posted September 6, 2012 Report Share Posted September 6, 2012 what kind of spring are you running now, does it bounce around like crazy?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Posted September 6, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 6, 2012 i'm running the stock springs and i have lost count how many fuggin coils i've cut, lol! it doesnt really bounce as much as it's fn stiff!! i have QA1 adjustable shocks that really did make a HUGE difference but overall it's not a bad ride just makes me a little nervous and could ride better.really i just wanna make the car fun to drive......

DOHC GT Posted September 6, 2012 Report Share Posted September 6, 2012 im running h&r ss springs currently and i still have to install my caster camber kit to get it nice and straight.rides nice and tight otherwise. blue tokico shocks and struts, kind wish i went with fox version. i heard it gives more travel on lowered cars.

Tony Posted September 6, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 6, 2012 yea dohc i never had any oil pan issues (stock) but my K member was smackin shit every now and then so my dad shaved the underside and stuck a small piece of square tubbing in there. hard to explain but i ended up with bout 3/4" more clearance. dont sound like much but i really helped.

Tony Posted September 6, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 6, 2012 i have made enough clearance that i bet i could run a 12" wide wheel (flip the quad shock) and 22" tall and tuck all of it with no probs. until i turn, lol. but i'm not gonna slap on 22's. ever Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony Posted September 6, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 6, 2012 yea the springs integrity can diminish if ya cut some coils off and the spring rate can change but i plan to at the most cut 1 coil in the back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Posted September 7, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 7, 2012 the springs are on their way, lol. no turning back now :nevreness:. should get 'em monday.

mavisky Posted September 7, 2012 Report Share Posted September 7, 2012 Front gap- 17 x 9 - 275/40-17Rear gap- 17 x 10.5 - 315/35-17There's more gap in the rear but thats natural for these cars. Side skirts are perfectly level.Car has aluminum heads, spare in the trunk, full interior, and lost the power seats so your results may vary slightly.Misspelled while on the crapper via my Droid Razr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OnyxCobra Posted September 30, 2012 Report Share Posted September 30, 2012 any update? convertibles sit really nice with H&R SS springs. If you have to cut a coil make sure you cut the dead coils, cutting from the bottom of the spring will mess up their rate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
