While doing my rear brakes today on my 91, I noticed the springs were in pretty bad shape. The isolaters are shot and one of the springs are broke. I'm sure the fronts aren't in much better shape. What springs do you reccomend or don't reccomend. I'm thinking motorsport c springs ( the progressive ones?) hoping to stay on the cheap side. Will a spring like these hurt straight line performance? Thanks

Those are the springs I have in my car. I really like them. Asfar as hurting straight line yes they probably will. I still bang off 1.6 sixty foots launching with juice with those springs. Not 2 shabby i guess. I like that my car has nearly no body roll with them.

I have a set of brand new Dropzone springs , progressive rate..1.5 front 1.75 rear $95 shipped to your door .

I put them on my car and as soon as I dropped it down I noticed I had rubbing issues with my 17x9 cobras , I didnt want to ruin my brand new Yokohamas so they came right off , car was never driven .

I went with the Vogtland sport springs and love them. They ride great and are lighter than anything else because of the spring steel they use. I ordered them right here at partshopper.com for about $200 with shipping.

C and B springs will drop a Fox about 1.5". IMHO, that's near the limit that a Stang should be dropped.

People should also get CC plates and a bumpsteer kit. Get the MM stuff. Or, do *not* come crying to me with your panties in a bunch when you get the POS stuff made by many other companies.

Hey, MM, I want the same sweet deal that I had from FRPP when I USED TO leg hump their products - $0.0000001 for every leg hump post.
So, SHOW ME THE THE MONEY! Do you hear me Jack H?
