91cobra5.0 · February 8th, 2008, 09:12 PM

mustangs been lowered, if i put stock springs back in the rear what will it cause? im lookin for like will it make it squat less when i take off?

e3sean · February 8th, 2008, 09:21 PM

the lowering springs should be stiffer so it should squat less then stock springs.

do i want it to squat?

JBIGBOOTSY · February 8th, 2008, 09:39 PM

it depends on who you talk to. IMO! despite what works for race cars with slicks, a bit of squat will take up some shock, and still give you a better launch on street tires.

the rear should either not move or lift slightly on take off. That is what the suspension is designed to do.

u talking about stiff or stock?

squatting means pressure was taken up by the spring, which means less pressure made it to the road.
