Front C springs vs Mach 1 springs. Sorry

Howdy folks.

I have a quick one for y'all. I don't visit the spring threads too much (dial-up issues with 20 thousand huge high-res pics) so I could use some friendly advice.

I have Mach 1 springs on the '88 GT vert. They're ok but I have a big ol' gap between the front tires and fender (FWIW, I have new ES spring isolators all the way around). I have an extra set of front C springs that I'm considering installing.

What do you all say? Are the C's really as harsh as some make them out to be? Before installing the Mach's, I compared the C's to the Mach fronts and they looked similar sans being a little shorter. What should I expect drop-wise when going from the Mach's to C's? 3/4" or so?

If S&2B's sees this, I don't mind rutted roads and all that. I live out West.

Thanks everyone!

Yup they are harsh. As long as you don't have potholes you are fine though. They handle awesome. They will sit lower. The top of my tire is even with the fender lip

Thanks Mike.

Any idea how they compare (harshness wise) to Prokit springs (a lowering spring I know very well)? I know that's a progressive to non-progressive comparison.

I dont see how they can be much worse than the Machs. They're kinda harsh on a vert anyhow.

Is rubbing a concern?
