Some people say they use the foxy body 4 cyl springs on there mustang to lower it, i can get 4 fox 4 cyl springs, is that all i need and just throw them on my 02 GT?

That is not an okay way to lower your car. When you get lowering springs, you need higher spring rates to account for the decrease in effective stiffness from reducing the length over which the car's weight is distributed. You do not want to cheap out and throw any old shit on it just to get it lower.

thats not the reason to get the 4 cly springs - its not a cheap way out as you just put, you need to have some idea what your talkin about before you post. you dont want 4 4cly springs - just two up front - with stock springs in back - this is one of the best drag racing setups as it allows for excellent weight transfer to the rear, raising the front up and launching forward

yes i planned to just do the fronts

[Mustang RacR94]

dont do that, the 4 banger fox springs are not meant for the weight of the 8 cylinder counterpart, just get some steeda springs. i always highly recommend nto taking the cheap half ass route out of things, just save up and buy good quality parts

racr - your not getting it - the 4cly springs ARE BETTER then your steedas for DRAG racing, they transfer weight - its not just a cheap shit mod like your saying - do somehomework please

Is all you're doing drag racing this car, or do you plan on ever turning the steering wheel? Putting two stupidly low rate springs up front is going to make your car handle like a bus. If all you want is to put down times at the strip, then I have no idea, but this will destroy whatever cornering ability you had.

yep but thats the difference between a track suspension and a drag suspension

[Mustang RacR94]

this is jsut simply the stupidest idea ive ever heard of in my entire life, just buy drag springs

well that because you dont know drag suspensions... the 4 cly springs are superior to the so called "drag" springs that most people buy.. now true there are better springs to be had im not sayin that - just that for example many companies market a "drag street" spring - that does not offer nearly the weight transfer to be had with 4 cly springs.. however you should only do the 4 cly springs if you intend to drag and only drag

as far as the hole 4cyl springs topic goes i hav a 90 fox with four cyl springs and it doesnt handle like a boat and get this it has a 351w in it and i drive it everyday as long as you have good springs in the rear and a kick ass sway bar you should be fine what people dont understand is its not about how much money you have its bout the right combo n making shit work but i agree if you hav money for good drag spings thats the better route i hav a low budget built car with a next to stock 69 carbed windsor in my it n iv spanked my far share of moded 5.0s not saying my car is supirior just saying money cant alway get you everything and work with wut you can afford
