I finally had a chance to clean my car up and take some pictures of it with the new B-series springs.

Thanks guys. They dropped the front 1 1/8" and the rear about 7/8", although it looks like more than that. I paid $140 for them from Summit.

The C's are basically the Eibach pro kit and will lower the car a little more. Gene Evans had the C's for $109. Don't know if they are still that price.

I thought they looked good with his car. They only look bad when it's a roached out black car, and the covers are darker than the black. IMO, it looks really good.

Thanks again guys! The covers are carbon fiber and they came with the car, so I just kept them. The B springs have the exact height as the Cs, but the Bs are progressive with the front being 425/535 and the rear 200/300. The C fronts are a non-progressive which have only a 650 front and 200/300 rear. My Bs ride almost like stock when I am just cruising, however, when I throw it into a corner it really stiffens up and stays flat. Im more than happy with them. I just wish I would have added them 5 years ago.

The car looks sharp! I like black stangs with the silver R's. They give a good contrast, and the headlight covers add to the effect.

Your car looks bad ass. You should defiantly get some smoked cobra headlights. I paid $220 four all 4 pieces. I know this isnt the greatest pic but you get the idea. If ever want to look into them the web site is http://www.ultimateautomotive50.com/. They have better pics there.

The Cs are not lower than the Bs. The non-progressive Cs are only stiffer up front, 650lbs vs. 425/535lbs for the progressive Bs, which will make the car ride more rough. Summit sells them for $139.95 and the number is FMS-M5300-C. The Bs are the same price with part number FMS-M5300-B.
Under normal cruising conditions the Bs are only 425lbs, but compress to 535lbs when the car is put into a corner. This is why they ride better than the Cs.

Not yet. I dont drive the car alot so I will probably wait until I get some new struts and some CC plates.
