Only pic I've got to show you is the one in my sig. Not sure why, but I never take the time to take pictures of anything. This was fall 2008, before I put it into storage.

Stock springs and struts, MM CC kit, Eibach Pro-kit springs.

I had c springs on mine. The front was waay too low. No gap. But looked cool. Rear sat too high. Yours looks good though.

They are off a '96 Cobra my buddy used to own. They were taken off his car when they had 5 thousand or so miles on them and I got them for free. Maybe not the best choice but who cares. It rides like stock.

hey, free is good.. and they were barely used.. i like the stance of the fms c springs, but from what pokageek is sayin, his sat differently?? big question for me is, do you guys have trouble getting over speed bumps? lol.. iuno man.. i have a feeling i am not going to be satisfied with the look of the pro-kits.. anyone else have experiences with the c-springs?

FMS C springs w/ tokico shocks. Same pic as my sig but bigger. This is the most recent one I have.

Just FYI. The car road like a rock over bumps..hit hard... and scraped everywhere I had stock shocks on it at the time. Maybe my vert was different. It sat lower in the front than yours and raked in the back..I liked the look tho.

Just remember C springs have a dead coil that can be cut without changing the spring rate. You may have to play with cutting them to get the exact height you want. I believe all my isolaters are removed and I know I cut some of the back springs.

FWIW I am happy with my springs, but I will say look into H&R Supersports. They are more expensive but every car I have seen with them looks awesome.

The main reason I like C springs is that they can be had for $100 bucks or near it and give me a great look.

 

[NinJa_FLiP]

thx for the info fellas.. chaos, did u cut any coils to make it sit like that?

 

[Adam95GT]

Sitting getting work done.. sportlines..

sportlines:

 

[NinJa_FLiP]

sportlines.. hmm.. about the same drop as the c-springs.. what shocks/struts u using and how do they ride? scrape at all? no problems with the wider tires??

nope haven't touched them at all.

 

[NinJa_FLiP]

any of u guys using cc kits with their fms c-springs? or were u able to get good alignment without them? just wanna make sure i grab everything necessary to work with the fms c springs.. thanks fellas

 

[HankyGT]

I wouldve gone with some LS1 springs.

 

[nmcgrawj]

Lol @ hanky



I would get CC plates for any setup that changed the height dramatically.

You must have used invisible ink in that post since it was about your normal length of post, but without words.
