get some lakewood 50/50's shocks $89 a pair on ebay

91cobra5.0 · June 24th, 2008, 11:33 PM

i could do the shocks here in the near future but not within the next few weeks, i was thinking of the springs becuase i can go down to the junkyard and pull a stock set from the rear

I've been in the 10s with BBK specific rate lowering springs. It may or may not be a benefit to put stock springs back in. I think a set of slicks or ET streets will benefit you more. I doubt you will see much if any of a gain by putting stock springs back in.

Softer springs in the rear of a Mustang will make weight transfer and traction worse because it will unload the rear tires.
