if you're looking for the slammed look, get eibach sportlines. the ford racing B and C springs don't lower your car as much

Are you using isolators? How do you find the ride? I'm considering the B or C springs for a street car and noticed the Bs have a much lower spring rate so i'm hoping they'll be a bit more friendly as the car is going to be used primarily as a cruiser. I have Steeda sport springs in my '89 and they're a great handling setup but the ride is a little harsh so i'm looking for something a bit more tame.

Ive got B's with no rear isolators.....the FRPP springs tend to give a raked look from what I've seen. They ride decent....I have KYB shocks/struts so they are the culprit from what I can tell for my sort-of-****ty ride feeling...

You'll need C/C plates too....don't buy Granatelli (they break). Thats my input

I like them. The ride is not much differant from stock. That will of coarse depend on how stiff a shock you run also. If this car goes to a track it will be a straight line. So a stiff spring offering onlya harsh ride wasn't needed or wanted. No isolators front or back and rarely hear them make any noise.

It's not that they are to low. I have never seen them listed anywhere. But based on the info on them the F spring with isolators will look just like a B spring without them. And the ride would be about the same.

Personally, I would pay the money for good springs. The ol' saying; "If you're going to do it, do it right". I've heard nothing but good things about Ford Racing Springs, and Eibach are great. The prior owner of my car cut the stock springs, it looks good, but they're getting replaced this spring.


This is the Stang with about a 2 inch drop on cut springs
