I have a suspension question!

[kissrocksforever]

Hey CJponyparts

I'm looking at buying a suspension kit next spring for my 1994 GT. I found these two kits.

Just trying to establish which one is more aggressive, what are the drop rates on each? I'm more concerned with appearance then ride quality.

Thanks!

the second one will be more agressive and have a lower stance. The springs will be red as well, that picture needs changed.

The first one is a Pro-Kit which should get you about 1.5" front and rear
The second one is a Sportline Kit which should get you about 2.0" in the front and 1.8" in the rear.

While were on the subject Steve, and I can't seem to get anyone on live chat support...-_-

I have the Aggressive Lowering Springs that I originally bought for my 2000 v6. I was wondering if they'll work for my 95 5.0 convertible and do you know if the aprox drop rate will change?

I would assume they would work.. and if anything, your convertible is a bit heavier and will therefore compress the springs a bit more than a coupe. Not sure on the v8 vs. v6 weight though.

 

[5ptSlow]

So the difference is about 400lbs total from the curb weight
00 v6 coupe @ 3069 + 250lbs (I'm not 250, just adding a random weight) = 3300lbs
95 GT vert @ 3451 + 250lbs = ~3,700

 

[Slykin]

Yeah, if anything you might have a bit of rake in the front, but I wouldn't imagine there'd be any problems. A four hundred pound difference isn't a whole lot when you consider you add almost that much weight with a couple passengers and the difference between a full tank of gas/no gas. Granted, a bit over a hundred pounds of that difference will be at the engine I think. I'd just try it out and see what happens. If they drop too much in the front it's a lot easier to remove the shorter springs than messing with stock ones.

True story. I'm doing the springs tomorrow, and then driving an hour and a half to a car show. Well see how they hold up. Lol

Yeah, I wouldn't worry about it too much lol.. Once, I ran Eibach sportlines in the front of my car and stock mach 1 springs in the rear. Now THAT was some crazy rake.

H&R race springs with bilsteins front and rear.

sorry for the delay i have been swamped with a project I am working on.

Your springs will work, according to my chart the spring when on a V6 drop the front 1.7 and the rear 1.5, on the GT it will be a 2.0 Front and 1.8 Rear drop.

 

[5ptSlow]

Thanks. I put them in Sunday and you were right, they do drop it a little lower than the v6.

Thanks for the info though. Good to know the springs are interchangeable between the years!
