Lowering Springs

energiesource · April 29th, 2007, 11:33 PM

I've been looking at pictures of cars with lowering springs on them and they still seem too high, is there another alternative without sacrificing handling and all that?

get the springs that lower the car as big as you can find, and then get some BIG ASS rims to fill that fender well.

The sportline kit from eibach is the most you are going to find!

zkid01 · April 29th, 2007, 11:44 PM

your not going to get it that low without going with a coilover kit..

lol can you use coil over kits with stock shocks and struts until you can afford new ones?

MustangMatt96GT · April 30th, 2007, 12:21 AM

no!

so if i was going with a coil over kit, would i get stock height springs or lowered springs?

Usually a coilover kit comes with springs with it, atleast a kit that I installed on another car did.

You adjust the hieght of the coilover seat to raise and lower your ride height.

I might be wrong since I am new to the Stang modding, but I think thats how it works.

sorry i meant shocks. fuck

MustangMatt96GT · April 30th, 2007, 12:59 AM

Coilovers let you decide the height if I am not mistaken all with the same shocks! They are designed that way!

energiesource · April 30th, 2007, 01:02 AM

Yeah but the kit only comes with the springs and all the bushings and crap, they don't come with the shocks, atleast the ones im looking at on MM that arent $1,600

If you are going to do something like that I would suggest a whole tubular K-member kit that comes with everything! It will shave a bunch of weight off of the front of your car! I think you just need a Eibach prokit with some camber caster plates and call it a day! That is what I have and love it!
