i bought the car with INTRAX springs already installed. they must have been for a coupe, cause my front wheels are up in the fenders. every time i go over a speed bump the brace under the car drags and i bottom out hard when i hit low spots in the road. i have the springs sold to a guy with a coupe so i need a set fast. thanks

I am happy with my FMS c-springs so far on my vert.

Eibach sportline, 2" drop...Thats what i have and im happy. If your'e going to lower your car, please just do it the right way and get the caster camber plates, bumpsteer kit and extended ball joints. Dont go 1/2 a$$ because you'll regret it in the end.

See pictures in sig. I have FMS C springs. Best spring for the money in my opinion. I'll be going to coil-overs some day.

Also, I specifically made this thread http://forums.stangnet.com/showthread.php?t=475498
for questions about C springs on a convertable.

I don't know about the best, but my BBK specific rate vert lowering springs gave a real nice stance, when my car was full weight..

Later on, I swapped them onto my 01 GT coupe and I must admit they look just right on the coupe.. I guess they are a versitile spring. Not to mention they ride great IMO, not really any worse then stock springs, and offer better cornering and braking characteristics.

are you going to do the 5 speed swap after all?
