not happy with ride hight, need springs

OFCR MOE · Jan 25, 2007

so i am not happy with my ride hight. too low in the front and too high in the rear. i want springs that will give me a bit of rake but not too much. i want the front tire even with the wheel well. its a convertible so i want springs for the convertible not a hatch or coupe. what are some good brands and can i see some pics of some that are done.

Coil Overs. You can adjust your ride height.

dont know what brand, got them used and i had to cut a coil off the fronts to make it look like that.

ford C springs is that the full name ?

if i were you i would put some insulators in the front and nip a bit off the rears. i think the front looks perfect and it will look even better if the back comes down half an inch to an inch. my theory has always been 3/4" to 1" rake front to back and my cars usually have a damn nice stance if i do say so myself

OFCR MOE · Jan 27, 2007

Too much Camber in the front need to lift it a bit, plus its not even on all four corners

BOWTIEKILLR · Jan 27, 2007

lik i said..use some insulators to raise it up and nip a bit off the rears till its even

OFCR MOE · Jan 28, 2007

some guys said insoleators dont raise or lower the car buy more than 1 cm.

I have Bullitt Spring, Struts, and Shocks on my 92 and it dropped the Front about 7/8" and the Rear about 3/4", its not too low and it has a slight Rake.

i think this may be the way to go for now. Your car looks AMAZING and just a minor adjustment will really set it off!

does anyone have a picture of afox lowered 7/8" in the front and 1/2 in the rear?

BOWTIEKILLR · Jan 30, 2007

yeah...that would still look 4x4. my car is lowered almost 3 inches from stock and still isnt low enough. 7/8" is nothing it would look like a lift kit compared to what you have right now

I forget if its B or C, but they're FRPP, when the spring time comes I'll see if I can get a serial # to check.

will it be a problem to cut off half a coil? mine are already pretty low.

OonDeanisS · Jan 30, 2007

and where did you get the 4 lug cobras? are they 17x9?

that stance is sick i wouldnt change a damn thing

OFCR MOE · Jan 31, 2007

so are ford B springs lower that C springs? guys i cant keep the car like this it looks funny. i stood across the street and it looked stupid.

yes they are 17x9 and i got them from the mustang shop in calgary

BOWTIEKILLR · Jan 31, 2007

what kind of stance are you looking for? mine is prettty low and i still want it another 1/2" in the front and 3/4" in the back

but if you really arent happy and dont want to guess what springs to get, buy some coil overs in the front and some weight jackers/coilovers in the rear and make it perfect
