I know its not an exact science (6er get in here!!)

BlueScreaM · November 17th, 2010, 02:41 PM

Ok i got steeda springs from 04kennethbell just the front, im tired of driving around with its ass in the air so i want to drop it some in the rear. I only have the top iso in the steeda springs and I believe it dropped it 1.25. My question is how much should i cut the rear to make it look right. I want the front lower than the rear so if i cut 1/2 coil without the top iso would that work or should i cut more?

why not just buy a set of rear springs off someone here? there are plenty always for sale...

mustangmike! · November 17th, 2010, 06:43 PM

JW, how far can you safely drop the front w/o needing new cc and shocks ? Id like to drop just the front.

Cobraman1024 · November 17th, 2010, 07:19 PM

add a fatty to the back seat. problem solved lol..........
you can drop the front about 1.25" before needing c/c plates. Usually most aftermarket springs drop it exactly that amount in front and about 3/4" in the back.

I had to get new ones for my 1.25 drop... Just plan on switching them but take it to get aligned frist to see if it will work the stock ones can be adjusted only so far..

Here are the pics

I dont think anyone is selling just the back. Plus these are really good springs so im happy, im just going to shave some off the rear.

mcqueen · November 17th, 2010, 07:31 PM

Don't cut your springs, just put some big ass tires on the rear. So much sexier

BlueScreaM · November 17th, 2010, 07:35 PM

i had 295/35/18 on there before it still needed a drop.

Lol how much snow do you get in South Carolina? You should come up here to Iowa for the winter. You'll be thankful to have your stang back on dry, clear pavement

mustangmike! · November 17th, 2010, 08:10 PM

Would I be fine with an 1" drop w/ those C springs ?

Yesir I drive summer tires year round. We get "one" snow fall every 2 or 3 years lol

mustangmike! · November 17th, 2010, 08:11 PM

my rear i think is lower than yours ??? maybe my mechanic did something to the rear springs with he put in the 8.8.

And I like your tail light shade, howd you pull that off. I tried on a spare housing to do a "light shade" like that and it failed
