Questions about Ford Racing "C" Springs

[codyGT]

I am not wanting to go crazy here so I figured these would be the best way to go. But I do still have a couple of questions. Besides the sway bars my suspension is stock. I have never really messed with a Mustang suspension.

1- With this small drop will I need Caster/camber plates or offset bushings?
2- Stock shocks will be ok right?

1. no
2. yes

The drop isnt much so you probably wont need either.

I was told by Ford that you will not need caster/camber plates, offset bushing, or aftermarkets shocks with the C-springs.

you won't need either, but you will notice that the stock shocks will wear out faster because you are changing the ride height...that is why I changed my shocks/struts and also because the ride will be a tad harsher

They told me the same thing about B-springs as well.

you're not really going to drop that much and make sure to cut the dead coil in the rear unless you want the raked look

Your taking a chance disagreeing with all of the experience on this site, but here goes. I put "B" springs on my 98. Took measurements on all 4 corners before I started. It dropped from 1.5 to 1.625 inches all the way around. Needless to say I was shocked because my original intent was to not buy C/C plates. I put on MM c/c plates because of this, since I wanted good alignment for $800 worth of tire on the ground and wanting to run the stock shocks at the factory ride position. I only have about 2 or 2 1/2 fingers of wheel-well clearance with 275's and only looks raked because of the body style, since clearances are equal all the way around. Moral of the story is: You probably won't know what your going to get until you do it.

I didnt use or need CC plates with my c springs. No coils cut

 

[Bullitt03]

No C/C plates here and perfect alignment
Cut C springs 2.25

 

[Back2Mustangs]

No C/C plates here and perfect alignment
Cut C springs 2.25

That ride heighth is perfect!
