Anyone know what springs these are?

[Red Devil]

I removed these from my 97 GT since I was pulling out the rear end anyways. I had the car lowered awhile ago but I couldn't find anything when I googled these springs. I was thinking about de-4x4ing the Cobra with these. Any help would be appreciated:beer:

Ford springs of some sort. I pulled this up online:

'5560' is the basic part number for 'Spring' in the Ford parts catalog. -AA is the revision.

'E5SC' is the parts prefix for a 1985 "E5" spring. "SC" generally indicates what car line ("S, which isn't "Mustang") ... not sure what it was originally used in. And "C" indicates what group designed the part. (Guessing "C" is 'car', but I've seen a variety of letters in this position).

I didn't originally guess this as a Ford part number because you posted it like you see it on the tag, instead of all on one line like you'd normally write it: E5SC-5560-AA.

Man, if that's the case then Springfield FTL! Found a receipt and got charged for Eibachs

well, the AA would lead me to believe they are a ford part number, I would have said eibach at first if it didn't have the part number on it.

give ford a call tomorrow and ask.

old frpp "c" springs?

 

[Wiseguy]

Eibach makes the spring for Ford. a,b,c, and the 95 Cobra R

imagine that.

So I'm guessing these would have to be Ford lowering springs. Otherwise, how would the car have been lowered. It also had KB lower control arms and camber plates.

Yeah, I would have said Eibach right off the bat if nobody had mentioned Ford. I agree with Mike that they are old Ford C-springs.


Looky what I found with a quick search...

Go grab a Corded dremel with reinforced cutting blades and I'll walk you through it!! oke:

Go grab a hack saw and I'll walk you through it!! oke:

Have fun with that. I tried a hacksaw and got about 1 mm into the spring before the teeth were gone. Battery dremel got about 1/3 the way through before the battery died. Corded dremel with reinforced cutting blades worked like a charm lol.

So I guess I'll throw these on the cobra to bring her down a notch. I'd prefer H&Rs but the GT was slammed and looked and handled great so hopefully the Cobra will fare as well(plus they're free). And sorry Tim, but the lower control arms are spoken for.
