Question about Springs And Shocks

[ThePope]

Hello everyone. Pretty soon I am going to be replacing my spring and shocks in my 98 pony. Iminterested in dropping it a inch or 2. I wanted to know what kind of setup everyone has or what do you recommend. I dont wanna slam it to the floor like a shitty honda but looking for a nice clean drop. Thanks for the time to read my post.

I am going to get Fox body 4 cyl front springs and Fox body GT rear springs as well as drag struts and shocks made for the Fox body Mustang.

With any drop I recommend Camber Caster plates!

Well i'll ride this poney too if you don't mind and some info in here to if you want it

I got the eibach prokit springs on mine and the guy i got it from cut an extra coil off and its too low. so some questions

1) what would be the difference of the ford C springs that i can get for 140 from cj pony parts vs. a set of new eibach pro kit spings...
This is in regards to ride quality and drop.

The mag said the c springs would drop my car 1 1/8" front and 3/4" in the rear, but the prokit said 1 1/2" to 2" drop.

2) Which would have the better ride quality with my kyb gr2 shocks and struts ?

3) I would like a small rake to the car... i know the c springs deliver that but what about the eibach... right now my car sets the same front to back, but its way way to low.


O and ThePope, if your dropping your 94-98 the for sure get some fox shochs and struts or you will buying a lot of replacement ones when you bust them from bottoming out too much . Good luck and thanks for the responces.

yea , thats a little to low for me. I'm looking to raise it up... since i got that killer convertable k member brace. My car sits about the same as yours but i only have 1 1/2 or 2 inches of ground clearance from the k member brace. looks good though, but i'm just tired of cleaning squirrle and shit off it. plus the shit stinks. but o well.

here is mine with the eibach Drag springs...lol

 

[voidfinger]

now i like that, wish they had the drag springs in the 100's lol.

It still seems a bit low in the front, did you not use isolators?

I think it is the elevation there, I could get four fingers between the tire and fender.

this one may represent it better

Thanks for the all the info everyone. I actually decided on a setup im going to do. Thanks again for the input.

i gots some questions... what would be different if i took a eibach prokit for the general 86-04 mustang gt and put it on my 98 vert??? would it sit weird or something? i saw they sell vert kits but i've found a company that gets eibach to make "their" spring and its the same as the one above but only 169. ??

what company re you talking about?


and i believe the spring rates between a coupe and convertible are different so a convertible on coupe springs will sit lower than it would on a coupe, and vice versa.

It's cj pony parts... so will it looked f'ed up if i put the coup springs on the vert or will it sit lower the same all around, i jus don't want the ass end sticking up high or the front either .... thanks
