Why do some guys with c springs get a level drop?

[03redfiregt]

Ok guys i am a little confused i have been looking into getting springs and i was interested in the ford racing c springs but i see that some guys are getting the raked look. As they are advertised in the catalog because of the difference in drop front to rear. BUt some other guys are getting a even drop all the way around? Why is that? I want an even drop and would like to about 1 1/4 so they seem like a good spring but i dont want it higher in the rear.

Mine has a very slight rake with the C springs. Some people cut some of each spring off to lower it more or even things up. You will just have to search around and find out how much people have cut and from which to get a level drop.

Mine are not cut and lowered about an inch.

you can mess with the isolators to get the drop right. i had basically a level drop with my c springs but took out the front isolators to get a raked stance.

I just installed these springs today and am VERY happy witht the result. There is more of a drop in the front, but it looks natural and old school. About 1.3" in front, 1.1' in the rear. For the money, this was one of the best mods I've done so far. It makes the car look good without the lowrider look. The handling is great and the nose doesn't dive when braking like it used to. It's the best $140 I have ever spent. The install was easy using this guide http://www.stangnet.com/tech/spring.html

On the c-springs the rears have a dead coil and if you cut it off you will have an even drop. +-1in. Check it

Here is a picture of my car one day after the install. No modifications were made to the springs. I love it!
