1.5 inch lowering springs for a fox

[fivelitercoupe]

Does any company make an inch and a half lowering spring for a fox?? I dont care what brand really its just that most of the ones i have seen only drop the car half an inch to an inch and my car needs to be lower than that. Just look at the pics on the page in my sig and you'll see why. Thanks for all your help....

Sharp car but man that thing is on stilts!!!!! I used BBK progressive rates. It definatly dropped it over an inch even though its advertised differently. It rides great and I had no problems fitting 26 inch tires under it.

Same here. Your gonna need an axel bumpstop, off-set steering rack bushings, and new spring isolators if the old ones are shot. I dont have caster/chamber plates cause my front tires arent wearing bad, will get them when I go to 17 inch rims though.

MAC's will work too.

What about Eibach springs? I thought I heard they also drop 1.5.

I have the Eibach Pro Kit springs on my 90. My car sat like a truck before the springs (see pic) . I dont have any current pictures but the top of the tire is even with the wheelwell lip all the way around. Id say at least 1.5" drop if not a little more. They are also the best riding lowering springs I have used. The fronts were the hardest to install also. They are quite a bit taller than others I have used on my other cars.

Eibach Sportlines - 1.5" Rear, 1.7" Front

 

[Black331Stang]

Whats the difference between the Pro Kit and the sportlines???

 

[MrKwik]

My understanding is that the Pro-kit is more of a performance handling spring and you get about a 1.5" drop. And the Sportline is just pretty much an in the weeds lowering spring.

 

[atey950]

Here are some quotes from www.eibach.com

Prokit:"The Pro-Kit is Eibach's premium suspension product and is considered to be one of the world's top performance suspension products. The performance and reliability has been proven in millions of Pro-Kit spring sets sold in all five continents and in over more than 40 countries around the world.

The Eibach Pro-Kit spring system is the first choice for enthusiasts when upgrading their vehicle's suspension, improving both the vehicle's performance and appearance. The Pro-Kit provides, quite simply... "The Look That Performs"."

Sportline:"reated for the extreme enthusiast, who wants that "race-car" attitude, our Sportline springs are designed for maximum street performance - with the lowest possible drop. Engineered with the same care as our Pro-Kit springs, Eibach's Sportline springs achieve legendary handling by aggressively lowering the vehicle's center of gravity with precision-engineered spring rates. The results is a car that handles as well as it looks. Sportline puts it all together, Race-Car looks, sportive handling and Eibach proven quality."

I used the Ford FRPP or SVO B Sport springs package, on my Capri, and it dropped it somewhat more than an inch, probably 1 1/2 inch. I did that in 91 and forgot to measure. This is all front end stuff. I cannot remember the rear numbers.

For comparision, I cut 3/4 of a coil from some 4 cyl springs and put them in my 5.0 Mustang a couple weeks ago, and got a 1 3/4 in drop, from 27 in down to 25 1/4 in. This was measured with an old set of TRX rims and tires on front. Amazingly, I was able to get it aligned. The Capri needed cc plates. It has about the same ride height in front on Draglites with 165's.

I think most company's springs will lower it the way you want. And when you have them, you can cut them, 1/4 coil at a time and check it, if you have to, and still have the originals if you need them.

I would drop it 2"...probably with intrax. + the sportsline say it will drop 2" is this true?
