mach1 suspension

bigtom · May 28th, 2009, 12:22 AM

well i was looking at my car before and the rear pass. side is sitting lower then the drivers. so im thinking the springs maybe no good. so im wondering if its the springs or the shocks?

Fluffy The Rhino · May 28th, 2009, 12:30 AM

Replace all of 'em, driver and passenger sides.

03MachMe · May 28th, 2009, 01:33 AM

prolly shocks more than springs. esp if the car is lowered on stock shocks. just replace all 4 shocks and you will be good to go

i would be more likely to believe its springs, as shocks won't affect ride height. even though i'd suggest replacing both...

yet just replace both

ok as for springs should i just go to ford or something and get stock ones. because aren't these lowered from the factory? and what should i use for the shocks? and should i also replace the quad shock?

99blkcobra · May 28th, 2009, 08:17 PM

id just get some aftermarket ones

bigtom · May 29th, 2009, 12:01 AM

i would like aftermarket ones but they'll drop the car some more i heard and i just make it down my drive way and into the garage now. i have like 1 1/4 clearance from the sfc to the ground when i pull in the drive way

Yeah, the Machs are slightly lower than the GTs stock. I don't remember how much. Check out dagostinoracing.com and look through their setups. Give 'em a call and find out if they have anything aftermarket that'll give you a stock ride height.

Oh, and if you decide to just stick with OEM parts, PM me and I'll let you know who else you can get ahold of.
