Hey guys,How hard is to change the shocks and springs package on 99-04 mustangs, and what is all involved in the process, if anyone don this please explain.And what combo do you recommend for 1 1/2 or 1 1/4 inch drop.
Thanks
Its a piece of cake...nothing to be stressed about. Basic hand tools and a couple of hours (first time)
I can do mine now in just about an hour.
I'd recommend H&R
Easy as balls... just don't be freaked out when the front springs pop out of their rust-encrusted lower seats... alls ya gotta do for the fronts is take off the calipers, disconnect the sway bar, then put a jack under the a arm and unhook the strut completely top and bottom... lower the a arm down slowly until the a arm is bottomed out. then pry the spring out
Back all ya gotta do is take off the calipers, jack under the diff, unhook the shocks and the small shocks (forgot what you call em... they reduce wheel hop I think), lower the whole rear end until it bottoms out, then pry out the rear springs. Lowered springs are a lot easier to put in because they're shorter and easier to compress... oh and don't forget to either change out or shave down your pinion snubber.
D-specs = kickass strut/spring combo... I swear by the Eibach pro kit springs.
