My boyfriend put springs on my old GT I had and we don't know if it would be easier to take it to a shop or if it can be done as easy as it can be done on a 99+ GT.

There is a few different ways to do it, but I have found the best way to do it, is to drop the IRS, one side at a time. The old spring falls out, and you have to kinda jack each side up back into place.
You might wanna do the front yourself and let a shop do the back if it will be cheaper. Although make sure the shop is close, cause you will have a mean rake on the car.
mcnaz said:Hi - my 1st post so go easy. I just purchased an '01 coupe with H&R springs. The undercarriage scrapes horribly going over speedbumps. Would I fix this problem by switching to a more conservative Eibach drop or should I try to find OEM Cobra springs?
thanks!!
eibach doesn't make a sportline for the IRS called eibach and asked no luck1990StangLX said:I was planning on doing the Eibach Sportline's if they'll work but maybe I'll stick with the Eibach Pro-Kit because I had it on my GT and I thought it was pretty good..I would have liked the rear to be another half inch lower though.
