Good Source of Info:

4cyl front springs are a little softer than the V8 springs. The 4cyl rears were the same as the cobra, the regular V8 Springs were stiffer.

Check out this reference

thanx for the info wallzy.i did put the springs in tonite, now ive got 4 banger springs, off of a 93, all the way around on my 93 lx 5.0. looks like the front dropped good, 1.5" appox.,but the rear jacked up big time. i dont remember a cobra being up this high in the rear.but i am back to being closer to the road, just need bigger tires in the back and an alignment. thanx for all the help from the fellow STANGERS! jon :SNSign:
