Question

Ford Racing Springs M-5300-C VS M-5300-B


M-5300-C:
Lowers 1979-94 Mustangs - Front .875" - Rear .5"
Lowers 1994-04 Mustangs - Front 1.125" - Rear .750"
Spring Rate - Front 650 - Rear 200/300


M-5300-B:
Lowers 1979-94 Mustangs - Front .875" - Rear .5"
Lowers 1994-04 Mustangs - Front 1.125" - Rear .750"
Spring Rate - Front 425/530 - Rear 200/300


I see the front spring rate on the M-5300-c is stiffer is thisa better choice or should i go with the softer m-5300-B ones?

The reason the progressive springs are good for stock struts is because they do part of the dampining. Linear springs do not do any of the dampening.

Make sense?
