is your car an efi car cause mine is. my front sat way lower than that. the rim was almost 1-1.5 away from hitting the front fender lip. im afraid that if i put the isolaters on the top of the 4cyl springs, it will be still too low.the b springs i think will be a pita to install. i like the way that the 4 cyl springs ride but i need more pics of 4 cyl springs and b springs in a efi car

Hey man do you have any closer pics of how yuor stang sits in the front with the 4 cyl springs? I am in the process of doing a 5 lug conversion/brake upgrade upfront and I am undecided if I want to throw in a pair of 4cyl springs that I have laying around.

Wow Ive never heard of 4 cyl springs being THAT low, I am VERY tempted to do it now with the top isolater out. Did it ride like stock with those springs?
