Finally installed my springs (pics!!)

flyboy86 · Feb 24, 2007

Just finished installing my Eibach Pro-kit. Managed to finish it really fast with a buddy, (thanks to parchisi, from the 94-95 section. I took the isolaters out, and I think it'll settle some more, but I'm already happy with the difference. Also cleaned her up a little and took a few pics. Let me know what ya think.

A few pics around the academy grounds:

Good move. I think it'll drop some more for sure.

Nice, the 4x4 stance is horrible on these cars with stock suspension. Looks good bro.

XxMustang281xX · Feb 25, 2007

looks awesome!, im just afraid to because I scrape with a Roush Stage 3 kit and stock suspension around here..

I can't WAIT to buy and install my H&R Super Sports. Right now I can fit a full hand between the body and the tire. I guess it's because I'm running a 35mm sidewall on a 18" tire

35mm sidewall? how do you figure that?

Saleen311 · Feb 25, 2007

35 = 35 percent of the width IIRC not 35mm

looks good....I have sportlines with the iso's out and i can only fit 2 fingers inbetween the Tire and Fender well

A 35 sidewall is what you're supposed to run on a 18" tire I have SuperSports on mine and LOVE them

It's amazing how much wheel gap stock 'stangs have, it'll drop some more. Congrats.

I always thought that the sidewall was measured in mm.

Thanks for clearing that up. You totally just schooled me Now it makes sense why my 295's have a taller sidewall than my 265's.

Look at this gap, man, it's insanely huge:

flyboy86 · Feb 27, 2007

To everyone who said my car would drop more, you were right. At first, I could fit 4 fingers between the rear fender and wheel, and tonight, I could just fit 3 in. However, I also found myself in a parking lot tonight, with every exit blocked with a speed bump. Chalk up a few scratches on my midpipe for me! Its well worth it though, I think my car looks 100% better than when it was a 4x4.

Yeah, so far, I like Colorado Springs too. I grew up in Minnesota, so the winters here are nothing compared to what i'm used to, even being about 500 feet from the mountains. The summers are amazing, never hot, or humid.

To be honest with you, I've only driven my car twice since I put the springs in. I notice the bumps in the road more, obviously, but I got the progressive rate springs, so it is definitely not very bad at all. I bet after a few weeks, I won't even notice it anymore. The car seems tighter in the corners. I had fun weaving through the gate barricades, but I hafta be careful on base, my exhaust draws more attention than I like sometimes. And I most definitely noticed the new ride height when I had to navigate through a parking lot with 30 billion frickin speed bumps. More importantly, I love how it looks.

Grr. I HATE YOU ALL!!! I am currently saving up for my H&Rs. BLECH! My suspension is going to cost around $981 for springs, shocks/struts, and LCAs. I already got the MM XL FL SFCs install, WOOOOOOOT!

Btw...your stance look very nice, if I hadn't said that already.

Damn thats a pretty penny. Get your springs at tirerack.com, shocks/struts on Ebay, and LCA's at American Muscle. I would think it would be a bit less than that but i guess it depends on which LCA's/ Shocks and Struts you get.
