? about lowering springs

[willb]

need your opinions on lowering springs for fox bodies. looking to go 2''.

 

[93Cobra#2771]

2" is too much, IMO. 1.5" is the max I'd go. Plan on C/C plates and a rough ride if you do it...

 

[willb]

would i need aftermarket c/c plates if i go 1.5''?

 

[93Cobra#2771]

I would suggest them on anything more than .5". In fact, I recommend them on a stock height car - they really make a difference.

How do you use the car? Daily driver? Racer? Weekend cruiser?

 

[willb]

i drive it prob once/wk. i would like to lower it mainly for looks. don't care too much about performance.

i was looking at the eibach sportlines. what do you think?

Hey I Just Ordered The Pro Kit For My 93 Gt - Its 1- 1.5 Drop.- I Was Told The Sportlines Are 2.0-to Almost 3.0in Drop

 

[SVT10TH#1721]

I have the eibach sportlines with C/C plates and Tokico struts/shock it rides pretty good check out my CarDomain for more pics.

i have the sportlines on my 93. for me it wasnt low enuff, so i cut 1/4 coil or so to drop the front another 1/2". the back i ended up just cutting a 98 cobra spring to even it out. ricer move? perhaps, but it sits nice.

 

[PJM99]

do the c/c plates require any drilling or cutting?

 

[93Cobra#2771]

3 bolt c/c plates don't require cutting or drilling. 4 bolt versions do. Get a QUALITY set, such as MM, Steeda. Stay away from knock off versions.

 

[PJM99]

I'm looking into the Steeda ones, which from what I can tell only have the tree bolts.

 

[93Cobra#2771]

Yep, I have the Steeda versions as well. Specifically, these:

He is! Awesome! I'm looking into getting a Steeda Tri-ax too. Its a toss up between the steeda and the MGW shifter. I've been reading a lot of good stuff about it.

Hey, back to springs, didn't someone get a real nice stance from using springs out of a Bullitt Mustang?

[93Cobra#2771]

Bullit springs will slightly lower your car. Most reports say that fox bodies will sit a little higher in the front than the back with the front in most cases.

If I were buying a new shifter, I'd get the MGW piece in a heartbeat...

Look into the Ford Motorsport C springs.. I have them on my 87 gt.. I really like them.. About 7/8 inch drop in the front and 1 inch in the rear.. I like it ..
