Springs/Shocks installed...

therat1989 · October 30th, 2010, 08:03 PM

Well I got my Tokico Blues shocks and struts put on as well as some Ford Racing C-springs with Polyurethane isolators. It holds the road very well. I only pushed it through one corner but it seemed to have a bit more grip.
Unfortunately I can feel every bump in the road now.

But I don't care.
As far as the stance goes I like it. It is lowered just enough for me. Maybe another 1/2 inch in the back but I can deal with it.

unless it is still the same ride height

ha, "performance>comfort"..

i felt that way for a while too and thought i didn't care in the slightest...unfortunately it DOES get old...

although c springs shouldn't be bad considering they come on a mach

therat1989 · October 30th, 2010, 10:00 PM

I'll get some pics tomorrow. Trick or treaters took over my drive way and now it is dark.

It is lowered slightly front and rear. I think maybe 1/2 inch up front and full inch in the rear. It looks great IMO. and don't you have to wait for springs to settle in or something?

naza · October 30th, 2010, 10:00 PM

Yeah man! Just drove my car since installed k member and all that and it rides like S###!!!!!

mrbigjeep · October 30th, 2010, 10:13 PM

hahaha...what k member did you use? spring rate on the coilovers?

and what struts?

naza · October 30th, 2010, 10:15 PM

Lets see, its the qa1 k w/arms 14 175 CO, rear sportlines HP's all around!

mrbigjeep · October 30th, 2010, 10:24 PM

which struts? i have a similar setup waiting to go on lol

naza · October 30th, 2010, 10:27 PM

tokico blue bro, maybe if I go with the 300lbs springs from MM it will improve a little bit! But right now, it makes me not wanna drive it lol

Try going from a wrangler yj with full leaf spring suspension to a mustang. I thought i was driving on a cloud when i first got my mustang haha.

00redgt · November 11th, 2010, 03:20 PM

dam man,take out the iso,ur car doesnt look like it has lowering springs on it

therat1989 · November 11th, 2010, 05:10 PM

You mean take out the poly urethane isolators that I bought? No thanks. It has lowered it a good amount IMO. I don't want to sacrifice ride quality just to look better. I didn't get the springs for looks anyway. Just for handling.

00redgt · November 11th, 2010, 11:21 PM

still looks factory,inless it settles in the next couple of day

Scott2001GT · November 11th, 2010, 11:28 PM

Mach as B-Springs and the Bullitt had C-Springs

GTCON · November 12th, 2010, 02:24 AM

Do the C springs make a big difference from stock? I have the eibach pro-kit and these springs are great especially since the ride is still great, although my koni yellows are probably helping quite a bit.

bottled2v · November 12th, 2010, 07:15 AM

the front looks good but the rear looks stock imo. but hey, if you're happy with how it turned out then good job

I have 300lb on front co's and d-specs the whole way around --- the ride isn't horrible but isn't great , I'm gonna put them on full soft and see how it goes .

therat1989 · November 12th, 2010, 09:30 AM

Yeah. Also though I was on an incline. I would like the rear to hunker down a little bit more. It may sound stupid but do LCA's lower it any by chance? I highly doubt it.
