fiveohwblow - where did you get the progress springs? How much were they?

Cenok - your car sits perfect too...you said the ride of those springs is good? How would you rate it towards stock springs?

85_SS - No pics?

Got them HERE and according to the site they are 199.99. Price isnt too bad, but when I got them they were only $145!! Still relatively inexpensive. You wont regret it if you do choose to get them.

Awesome man! I like the stance of your car. What size tires are you runnin? They look like 245/45/17's any rubbing issues? I plan to eventually run 245/45 out front and 285 or 295/40 out back.

Thanks!

I was runnin 245's out back but since those photos I added about 200 horse. I am runnin 275-45-17 drag radials on the rear now and 245-40-17's on the front. no rubbing issues and I havent rolled the fenders. Several people have mentioned the stance and the offset on the wheels. I have to say it was all by luck really. I didnt know there was even an issue with offset on wheels when I ordered em and this was the first fox I lowered with the Progress springs. Got lucky I guess! I love it!

What else are you using ? Shocks/Struts, control arms? Or all stock.

Runnin just LCA's and have recently been keyed to add factory bushings to the UCA's if I dont replace them. Also upgraded shocks at the time as I thought it was necessary but other than that no suspension mods.

I have an 89 convertible. I keep hearing certain springs will not work with a convertible.

Anyone have pics of fax body convertibles with lowered springs? What type are they? What did the manufaturer say the drop was? What was the actual drop?

The only thing I can think of is that converts are heavier... Thus you would need a bit stronger of a spring. i.e. four cylinder springs dont "work" in a v8 yet you will see many people on here do that for dragging but... different topic. I just think spring rates might be different. Check with the MANU of the springs for the right answer. Thats your best bet.
