So i get my ball joints and control arm bushings changed.:nice: For the labor of $160. I could do it but for $160 why would i want to. :shrug:

Anyways Upon removal of the passenger spring i realied half a coil had snapped off just sitting in the control arm. Talked to a guy in the shop next door that says this is pretty normal and happens on fox's all the time.:shrug:


Guy put the spring back in (the broken one) and lowered the car. Its sitting pretty level but this thing needs to be changed. I know it said Eibach springs in my sig. and i had confirmed the rears are eibach. But the fronts are pretty rusty and all i can make out is a long number on the spring that looks nothing like a ford part number.

So what do you guys use for springs??? I would like to lower it but i live on a hill and my driveway is on a incline off that hill. I wouldn't want my fuel sump making contact with the ground. :(

Are there any springs that drop the front like 1-1.5" and keep the rear stock. If not i have stock rear springs that still have the ford part number tag on them (excellent condition) I have Rear adjustable lower control arms that can lift the rear or lower it.

I'm not really familiar with spring rates and such...but i have Tokico Illumina Struts front/rear with the selector set to 5 "Firmest"

Any Recommendations? And remember i need some height in the rear!!!

i know atleast the front will give u what u want where as the rear, will probably drop u about an inch or so, give or take... i know with my sportlines im like 2ish in the front and around 1.5-1.8ish... atleast thats waht the box says :D
 
Prokit gives you good clearance for most terrain IMHO. It's what I have so I cant speak for other springs.

Good luck.
 
My car has the c-springs and they are a good overall height.
