I just finished installing some Fox 4 Cyl front springs...the install was fairly simple and I really like the way the front end transfers the weight back towards the arse end now...HOWEVER, I'm thinking while I was there I should have slapped on some 70/30's or 90/10's...
What is the consensus, if there is one....70/30's or 90/10's...daily driver but definitely geared towards straight line accelaration.
Got over an inch drop too...which is nice.

Pics coming soon if this stupid computer will cooperate!

Awesome man. What rear springs did you use? I have 4cyl up front and 8cyl fox springs in back. I also love the weight transfer...its badass when you go WOT and the front end comes up. Go with the Strange 10 way adjustable drag struts and shocks. They will still be good for daily driving and they are AWESOME for the track. Lets see some pics...here is a pic of mine I dropped a little over an inch in front.

Nice Ryan...did you cut the rear Fox springs(or the front for that matter)? Did you DIY? Junkyard springs or ? Any other info, tips, etc.

Thanks madmatt!

twogts4us...front springs are untouched with no lower isolators and rear I cut 1/4 coil off. When I have some more time I am going to cut another 1/2 coil off the rear to drop it a little more. I bought them used on www.corral.net classifieds...got all 4 for under $100.

Lookin good! What kind of rear springs do you have...your rear looks lower than mine...also did you leave the lower isolators in for the front springs...or ditch them??

Rear are still the stockers...The Mega Bites make the rear sit a little lower. On the front ones I only left the upper isolator on..
Before I did the springs I did this....

That has got to be the nicest gauge package I have seen in a mustang.

Thanks man, I appreciate it...need it to be a 12 sec ride when I hit the Motorplex in October....better be by now! Here is a pic of the front...this pic makes the front look high...probably cause I just got finished seeing how it launches.....not bad but I think I need some 90/10's....
