Im looking to lower my car but im not sure what of these 2 kits to get
what kit of these 2 kits do you like best and why ?

to add
I see the front spring rate on the M-5300-c is stiffer. is this a better choice or should i go with the softer m-5300-B ones?


ford racing springs:
M-5300-C:
Lowers 1979-94 Mustangs - Front .875" - Rear .5"
Lowers 1994-04 Mustangs - Front 1.125" - Rear .750"
Spring Rate - Front 650 - Rear 200/300


M-5300-B:
Lowers 1979-94 Mustangs - Front .875" - Rear .5"
Lowers 1994-04 Mustangs - Front 1.125" - Rear .750"
Spring Rate - Front 425/530 - Rear 200/300



thanks

Are we comparing 2 springs here or 3?

When lowering a Mustang I would go with at least a 1.5" drop (i.e. Eibach Prokit, H&R Sport, Ford C-springs) if you wish to get rid of the 4x4 height.

According to that link, the spring rates for those 3 are all within the same area of stiffness and I doubt you'll (or anyone) be able to feel the difference of 120 lb/in. I know when I swapped my springs for Sportlines which have a rate of 630 lb/in when fully compressed, the ride quality wasnt that much stiffer.

sorry i was not more specific
im looking at 3 springs
only reason im looking at the ford racing ones is due to the price difference of almost $50-$70 dollars .

I've heard a lot of good things about the H&R Sports also. I am considering doing them. My stang squats a little more in the rear than I would like, that and the 4X4 problem!

Oh well in that case I'd definitely buy the C springs, if you don't mind the fact that they only lower the car 1.5".

B Springs

I've had the FRPP B springs on my Mustang for about 2 years now...they're great all-around springs in my exp.

They get rid of the SUV look, provide a subtle forward rake and work fine with the stock suspension equipment. Handling improves, but you can still go over speed bumps without crawling.

I have had Eibach springs and they are great, but i can't tell you about the other ones since i have never had them on any car i have owned.
