sean hyland has no idea about suspension if he states 1.5 as when the geometry changes, look at his site and what he sells... its all steeda for suspension, i'm more willing to trust people that MAKE suspension, over those that just sell others. on a side note, i dont want to take anything away from steeda... they are fairly solid for suspension honestly, but they are eclipsed for top end performance by griggs and MM.
carrol shelby though he is a great guy and good thinker, is old school. cutting springs, or torching them was "the thing", however now the springs are wound/designed differently, and now this method causes issues... weather you realize it or not.
every set of LCAs you can afford has poly on both ends ehh? well, then its time to start saving, buying used, or giving up. not trying to ge a prick about it, but honestly, if you are even talking about racing then you should know you get what you pay for.
AGX is not the best, but not the worst.... if it were me i'd be buying either koni, tokico Dpsec, or repurchasing my bilsteins.... but i cant say anything really poor about AGX, just that they are midrange for a performance shock and would not be my personal choice, but would not bother replacing them if you already have them.
you seem to be getting frustrated with our comments. well, thats your choice. most of us have done our research, spent the money (which it seems you dont have available), and installed the parts we recommend. so, if you want to do whatever you want, fine by us. however ignore our advice at your own risk. we dont sell products (most of us), and will not see a dime, or discount for giving you suggestions, so we gain nothing by giving you misguided, or bias advice. you really need to lay down how much you can spend, and what you want it to do. from what it sounds, you just wont have the cash for the right pieces for the job you seem to want to do... and that requires sacrafice, either sacraficing performance, or your wallet.
honestly, reading back through everything there really isnt much good tech in this thread, which is kinda disapointing, especially since both Tom and San dropped in. bottom line, you are only mildly improving your situation by cutting the springs. if you need to get lowered and keep it cheap, FRPP C springs are what you want. they drop about 1.5 and are not compromised.
just something to note... HR makes their Race springs. the race springs are not that ehavy of a drop, about 1"-1.25" or about 3/4" with new isolators. reason i bring this up is to point out how little of a drop HR makes their "race" springs. you might be thinking "yeah, HR is stupid, give me a good example" well... the HR race spring is the single suggested spring for use by Maximum motorsports.... now just for a follow up, just take a poll on who everyone thinks is the best mustang suspension company... lower is not always better.
