Difference in 01 and 03 rear springs?

weems · February 8th, 2010, 11:02 PM

Anybody know? My buddy has a set from an 01 he said will work in my 03, but I know AM list different part numbers.

Shouldn't be different for coupes. As long as it's not a vert. Don't hold me to that though bud. I'd double check w/ someone as well.

AM has two different part numbers listed. I know the springs for verts are different though.

SWEET2KSTANG · February 9th, 2010, 12:37 AM

the same springs for each. there is a difference between the coupes and verts.

The factory 03 springs are stiffer then the 99/01s in the coupes. After market shouldn't matter. Its possible that the aftermarket springs have less spring rate for the 99/01 then the 03/04.

The 03 verts have softer rates then the coupe. I'm pretty sure they are the same sprins that are in the 99/01's

I just don't understand why the part numbers are different?

wraitherx · February 9th, 2010, 11:33 AM

the Termi springs are stated to be rated at (coupe) 600lbs each for the front and rears. The 99/01 springs (coupe) are rated at 500lbs front and 470lbs rear. Hope this helps you there weems.

So would it hurt to put 01 springs in a terminator?

wraitherx · February 9th, 2010, 12:18 PM

I dont see how it would hurt, if anything it may just have it sit a little lower being that the 01's are softer/lower in the spring rate.

Got ya, guess i'll try it today and find out. If the damn bank would ever call me back.

wraitherx · February 9th, 2010, 12:23 PM

the banks can be a pain sometime.

I know his words at 9 this morning "We will know something within the hour" here it is 12:30 and I havent heard shit, and my bank is 3 hours away. And I still have to take the fucking wideband out.

Weems, did they ever call you?

Yeah I got the car. Still sitting 4x4 though. I probably am going to just cut the springs, but I hear the rear is a pita to get out.
