Hey guys I would like to know if the Turbo coupe springs will work on my N/a Mustang. Unforntunatly my front springs are compressed and I launch my friggen car over every bump in the road. I have a turbo coupe parts car available to use to swap over. They look like they will work anyone else have some information.

It's a Fox Chassis so they should work (90% sure). If anything they may be a little taller and a little stiffer to acomodate the extra weeight the car has.
I put Scorpio rear springs on my Sierra and just choped a coil out. They work great, but I still need to chop one more out of it.

Yeah they will work in the rear just fine I have not tried the fronts. You may have to cut a coil or more. I cut a coil off my t-bird springs in my 89 LX and they had been cut before it came out nice. They are much stiffer and you won't have to worry about the damn thing sagging anymore. The best part is you can actually have people in the back seat.

Nice that is what I like to hear... Unfortunatly my money tree is not in full bloom, and I have access to a Turbo coupe that has all the odds and ends that I can use.

As long as you cut them they will be fine...if you just swap them in it will get a 2" lift.

depending on your hurry I'm switching to them one might this week hopefully. Just sitting side by side there looks like a big height difference for the rear.

I would say cut out one first and see where it is. The rear ones are not to bad to pull out so you can play with them. Remember to atleast take the car around the block after putting the springs back in to settle everything again.
otherwise it may apear to tall and actually not be.

the front is a lil more of a challenge. But I think I cut a coil from the factory ones and it basically allowed me to just barely slide them back in. fronts are a pain. I gota find an easier way. Someone do a write up on the front ones. please.
