There are some writeups for the spring install. Get a buddy to offer a hand and it won't be so bad

Springs aren't too bad to install. After they're in, you'll never look at your car the same!

If you do remoce them it might make some noise. I removed my rear Isos in the bottom and it made noise for a while but then eventually stopped. Lowering your car definatly does give it a whole new look. I had them for a while till I wanted lower and got Sportlines. Good luck with the install!

where are you at in az? i may be able to give a helping hand. I have done many spring installs on these and fox mustangs. pretty straight forward. hell if you are close enough we could use my house. I have a air compressor that would make it a lot easier.

Installation looks a tad bit complex to be doing without a full lift - how much would a shop install cost?

it looks complex, but it really isn't like i said i've done it on other vehicles before, in my carport with a jack and some stands, just never before on a mustang. I just wanted to know if there were any sublties to mustangs, as there usually is lol

on a side note, I am now waiting for a couple of fuel injectors too LOL for some odd reason, the last owner put in two pink injectors and six orange

I did my "C" springs. No problems at all,.... in my mothers garage no less. I did cut out the dead coil in the rears to lower it a bit more.

I have been convinced. I will head to Racer Walsh tomorrow to pick up FRPP C Springs. Also gonna pick up a set of Steeda UDP's - my UDP's now are piggybacks and with my nitro shot I might as well purchase them as insurance policy.
