B is progressive and C is linear rate
Both have same drop, if you wouldn’t mind could you toss up a pic of your 94 with the C?

Actually my best friend ordered the C springs for my birthday. They arrive on July 5th.

Here is a pic of my 94 with the C springs. Plus I had the 16" waffles wheels with 245-50-16 all around (read had drag radials).

Yup. The way the car looked it was very unexpecting to everyone which was the plan. Had it for 17 years, had no miles on it and it's hard to see these pics since I had such a perfect car. Lots of regrets selling that one. I'll get this one up to my standards though. It took me 17 years to get that one perfect, this one is in much rougher shape.

Episode 2 YouTube video is coming soon, subscribe to the SN95 Mustang Garage channel. Here is a preview of the stuff in it.

The battery didn't have the tie down block because the tray bottom bolts were rusted inside with no heads. That was fun getting them out.

The stupid gear shifter knob had a cheezy message on it.

The pedal covers were hideous.

The gas cap had some sort of lock that was stripped and needed a flat screwdriver just to get it off.

We addressed all that. I got more parts coming which will be in Episode 3.

Then I got the flu, I'm totally contagious so nobody is allowed in my bedroom except my black Lab "Shelby" who's very concerned with my health. She has been laying either with me or on me for two days now.

We replaced this cheezy shifter knob with something correct. Who makes this garbo? Must be from "Fast N The Furious" movies.

Changed the bootlip pedal covers with proper stock pads until we can decide on what we're going to put on there. Another hideous item that came with the car.

My son worked on the hood we picked up last Sunday. It came out quite good. There is only one spot that needs filler on the entire hood, just a rock chip.

Since I've had the flu my dog has been very concerned. She normally doesn't leave my side but since I've been sick she's really stayed close.

I would almost want that shift knob just for the heck of it!

Well you'll see in the next video what we did with it. I think it came Fast and the Furious movie, awful.

I've been in bed the last 4 days with the flu but decided to get out, go in the garage and sweat out the rest of this flu.

Unfortunately it didn't last long.

I was only able to do a wire tuck on the passenger side. The remaining wire up top is the smog vacuum crap which is all getting pulled off in the next few days. We are taking the exhaust off and selling the x-pipe and SLP cat back.

We are also repainting most of the engine bay when the motor is apart during the Edelbrock intake install. I already talked to the Auto Paint Store.

A little progress today.

I have to say, I'm impressed with SLP exhaust the way it's pieced together.

So it comes off in sections starting from the tip, 15MM bolt clamp then go to the next section, then the next. No need to jack the car up, no fishing pipes over the axle. Why isn't every exhaust like this?

Anyway, it's off, my son is going to clean it up then it goes on Craigslist, OfferUp and LetGo.

Another thing bothering me that I had to address today is this mess. Dude before me put hood pins in but the studs broke off and left this crap. I put rubber grommets on there for now until I can buy the hood level posts.

I'm painting the engine bay so I need to make all these fixes.
