Lowering Springs

Phade · Dec 28, 2005

Hey guys, I was looking into some lowering springs for my '00 GT. I'm looking for a more agressive look, not making an SCCA car or anything. Options so far are the Eibach pro kit, Steeda Sports, H&R Sports or FRPP Lowering springs. All are around $240 except the FRPPs which are 150 (?) and all lower the car 1.8 inches (pro kit) or less so I don't think that i'd be needing any C/C plates. Do you guys have any experience with any of these or could recommend some? Thanks for your help.

the eibach pro-kit will drop your car about 1.5 front and rear you wont need CC plates, if it was a sportline drop which is more of a 1.8-2.0 drop then you would need the CC plates

if you have the extra 'cheddah' buy the plates

Go with the FRPP C Springs and remove the isolators.

i've seen stangs lowered on c springs that barely looked lowered in front even 1/2" from stock and they dont lower the rear of the car at all really. A lot of people end up cutting them and/or removing isolators to make the stance right, so i'd say save yourself from the fidgeting with the c springs, and go with Steeda Sports or Eibach Pro Kit (1.5" drop as someone mentioned previosly)

and DO NOT get eibach SPORTLINES! they suck. the rear springs sag.

Yeah sportlines are a decently big drop at about 2 inches and depending where you're driving, you'll be scraping at every bump, I say go with Steedas or Eibach's Pro Kit

i just got done installing my c springs last week and i think the car looks great. It really lowered the back a lot and took the 4x4 look away

illl post a pic tomorrow

C springs are fairly harsh... what about the other springs?

Ford "B" springs

ponysarepretty · Dec 30, 2005

Yes I know B springs are less harsh

Also whats odd is that the G or whatever they are alled springs that lower more have less spring rate

So so true. Don't get me wrong, the sportlines make the car handle like a dream, but i have to put poly-urethane isolators in the rear and remove the bottom isolators up front just to make my mustang sit right Unless i want to spend 240 bucks on some H&R SuperSports.

"G" is for the convertible, all the Ford lettered springs claim 1.5 drop in the front

well instead of making a new thread ill just post it here. I just got my Steeda SuperLite springs in and I was planning on doing them tomorrow morning but my buddies backed out because they have some stuff to do so I was wonderinf if any of you out there have done them yourself. I know an extra body would be nice, but as a last resort how hard is it? im simply just doing the springs and thats it. any feeback or helpful links would be great. i had going to bed at night knowing that i could get rid of the 4X4 package and they are right there in my trunk! lol

I recommend H&Rs. I got the Steedas and not enough drop in the back.

well thanks for the link! i had my laptop out there with me! i did the install solo with handtools alone! man my back feels like jelly! I am very impressed with steedas SuperLite springs initially after the install. I have only drivin on her for a day or two and waiting ofr the springs to settle before i post before/after pics. I am very happy with the look and feel the steeda's give me! I believe there are way too many steeda haters out there that believe you are paying for the name. I believe in paying for what you get, and getting track tested quality products at that! thanks again for the link. pics coming soon
