Are v8 front springs noticeably different vs. 4 cyl. springs

90hatch · August 8th, 2006, 05:29 PM

I just bought a pair of 4 cyl. front springs and they seem to be exactly the same as my stock v8 springs that I have sitting around. The same coil thickness and the same height. I 've heard that 4 cyl. springs are half an inch taller than v8 springs. I want to make sure before I put them in because when the guy pulled the springs out, I wasn't there when he did it and I wasn't allowed to go back there in the junkyard to watch him yank it out.

When I swapped mine the 4cyl springs were alittle taller than the GT springs I took out, but this was for a 2002. The fox 5.0 springs.... I'm not sure about.

I saw that vid of you taking off, man that looked nasty, do you like those springs you have up front, they look good on your ride, I just hope they'll look just as good on mine.

Yea I like them, they worked out great. They ride like stock and gave me the drop I wanted. I doubt they'll lower your Fox that much though, unless you cut them (which will stiffen them up).
