Im looking to do minor suspension work to my 96 GT. The shocks are starting to get old so im going to take advantage of this and put in some lower springs.
My biggest problem is budget. Im 17 and still paying for the car(and everything else) so i need to keep cost down as much as possible. The springs im thinking about are made by Ford Racing and are realy cheap. they also lower the car 7/8" in the front and 1/2" in the back (exactly the stance i wanted.) they also keep the ride quality good. Thats important because the car is my daily driver.
What i dont know too much about is shocks.
-Can i use OEM shocks with lower springs? would that make the ride suck? I'd rather not but most sport shocks are pretty expencive.
- suggestions on what springs and shoks to use? (i was also looking at the Steeda springs and i like them...anyone use them?)
any advice, comments, experience?
