Lowering without the rough ride?(searched)

What kind of condition are your isolators in? What kind do you have? I used polyurithane with my Eibach Sportlines and its not very choppy at all. Not the smoothest ride but very tollerable.

T have a 93 coupe with BBK progressive rate springs that a gray in color and have a reasonable ride. They also have small BBK logo's painted on them if that might help you determine if yours are the same or not. 1 1/2 in. is supposed to be the max amount to lower a Mustang and still get the suspension to work right. If you go to too low a profile tire it could have the same effect with a harsh ride. I am using KYB gas shocks becouse they are a good shock for a reasonable price, many other good shocks avaliable but usually for more money. As for cutting stock springs I have done that too on other type of cars and they do get a lot stiffer and it is very hard to cut the right amount off. You cut off one coil and expect a small drop and get a lot more than you expect so you would need to make smaller cuts and then install to check them. This is a lot of work just to check them and then remove to cut a little more. I think most of the Lincolns have air bag suppension systems that are expensive and may or may not be able to be adapted. Competer controled pumps and all that stuf. I'd try calling a spring manufacturing company and discuss your needs with them. You will need to furnish them wheel and tire sizes you are running. Good luck! Your lowered Mustang will never ride like a non lowered car.

I went with Steeda Sport springs.

Pretty conservative drop, but looks nice. Ride is great! doesnt get that lowered car "hop". Its a firm ride but it doesnt shake you to death.

Even a completely stock fox mustang is not the best riding car, and your Contour would ride better than a stock fox mustang.

Cutting stock springs is a bad idea. The ride would probably be worse than it is now.

Like skoobie said check you're spring isolators. What kind of shocks do you have? How old are they and what kind of condition are they in?

If you want the best riding comfort from your lowered mustang go with progressive rate springs, like Eibach progressive rate springs, decent shocks like the high end KYB's or Tockico's (maybe even adjustable ones), and replace your spring isolators with new factory rubber ones.

I have Tockico specific rate springs and Tockico HP shocks/struts with polyurethane spring isolators. The ride is not choppy, and is very tolerable. It is firmer than stock, but it is supposed to be. If you lower your mustang, no matter what brand spring/shock combo it is going to be firmer than stock.

Just remember that you get what you pay for. Don't go for the cheapest spring/shock combo or you will probably be in the same position you are now.
