All of the "handling kits" that I have found such as late model restore's "handling starter kit" and others that have stuff like sfc's, springs, and lca's as a package deal all come with linear springs with way too low of a drop for my liking and a harsh ride. I'm not looking to make an all out race car or anything just something a lil sportier than stock so Im kind of leaning towards ford racing's 'b' springs. Too bad I can't find a kit with the sfc and lca's thrown in, I could save a couple hundred bucks over piecing a kit together myself. I have new shocks and struts just need the rest of the basic goodies.

Also im sure if you call them you can swap the springs out for the ones you want, most places will do stuff like that for you

We can gladly swap you out to a different spring style of your choice. Of course the price will change a little but we will do out best to cut you a great deal.

Also remember you can use your Stangnet user name and get a 5% discount as well.

Get the Bullitt springs. B springs are awful.

I know I probably post this a lot, but my H&R R&T springs with Bilstein's rides really good, and handles great.

Stay away from B springs... you WILL regret it. When you hit bumps you'll actually hear your dash make a "crack" sound.

I went with Eibach progressives and KYB gas adjusts on two of my Capris and couldn't be happier with the ride, stance and handling... or the price for that matter.
