These are what I went with and it lowered it to the lenght that you are wanting.
BBK Specific Rate Mustang Lowering Springs (79-04 V8) 2501 - Free Shipping!

 

those are the ones I was looking at. What is meant by specific rate? Also do you have your isos in?

 

I have Eibach Sportlines. Heres how my car looked on my previous wheels.

 

for that little of a drop i would go with eibach sport lines. if you want to try and do it cheap you can get these which are supposedly made by h&r but they will give you a little more drop in the back, luckily my cobra springs are linear so i cut mine with no change in ride quality. however, due to my straight axle swap i do have gt springs in the rear, i cut them 1 coil and it doesnt handle terrible, like any other straight axle mustang anyways.

great suggestions so far guys, much appreciated.

 

I'm not sure if I'd run another factory spring from another stang. But to answer your questions, I used the H&R SS springs with Koni STR.T fox struts and SN95 shocks. It dropped mine about 1.6"/1.5". Specific rate will be a linear spring rate. The H&R's are progressive. I like the drop it gave me with all of the isos still in place. It's low, but not draggin ass everywhere low.

If you haven't looked into it already, you might want to throw in some caster/camber plates.

 

Thanks a ton.

Rep'd all you guys for your help thus far

 

A little late to the party, but I wanna tell ya my set up.

right now Im running H&R SS springs with Tokico blue shocks and struts with no front ISOs.

Id recommend the H&Rs because there well priced, dependable, and they dont slam the car to where its not drivable. Also, Id recommend taking out the front ISOs. just make sure that your wrap the bottom of the springs with duct tape to prevent mettle on mettle squeaking.

As far as ride quality, well, It isnt a Cadillac :lol. But lets just say rough roads are rough, but bumps dont shatter your bones. Id dont really notice that much though cause I dont care.

Now as far as caster camber plates. I bought some after I lowered my car because I could see some camber problems. well When i took it in to get aligned, they put the car on the machine, and they were able to get the camber into specs with out the plates. Caster wasn't a problem at all. So with that, I sent my CC plates back and got a refund :baller:

So yeah, heres my car

 

right now Im running H&R SS springs with Tokico blue shocks and struts with no front ISOs.

That's exactly the setup I'm gonna run + cc plates when i get the money. Looks perfect.

 

progressive rate springs are going to have a more comfortable ride than a specific rate spring, progressive rate is designed more for street applications whereas specific rate springs are designed more for road course. also the specific rate springs tend to have a more aggressive drop than the progressive rate. eibach makes some really good springs and if you want a more aggressive drop i would get the sportlines, i love the stance those springs give and you can put some urethane isolators in and that will lessen the drop slightly.

 

Another option to look at are the Ford C Springs on AmericanMuscle. I ran those on my 02 GT for quite a few years before switching to H&R SuperSports. They gave me roughly the drop you're looking for and retained a near-stock ride quality. I ran stock shocks/struts and no caster/camber plates. Here are a couple pics:

 

no isos? i have B springs and it doesnt sit that low... maybe not a bad thing though, I already scrapped my chin spoiler as it is.

 

eibach pro kit 1.5 good ride cant go wrong

 

my bad did not see the year

 

I thought stock GT springs were linear?


Here is my thread on a set of Tokico Illumina shocks and springs.

I'd rec eibach prokit or hr ss

 

You can cut your stock springs. Plenty of members on here have and have had good results.

 

H&R ss here and love them

 

Looks good. On a sidenote, what exhaust tips are those?

 

i ran mach 1 springs with no isolators... no excessive noise and perfect ride height

 

I have H&R SS with blue tokicos as well. Love the ride quality. I left my isos in.

Mach Stang your car is gorgeous, I need new wheels bad. :dunce:

This is a picture right after install, the car has settled a tad since then.

 

Thanks man. I do my best

 

Eibach pro kit. Lowers it a good amount and ride is better than stock. Combination you can't beat

Not an iPhone...

 

Im running a Cobra rear but however I have eibach pro kit, no isos in the front, rides good and the look is good

 

Im using FRPP C springs and Tokico HP's with the poly urethane isolaters. I liked the drop, i do want a little more of a drop though. The ride is on the stiffer side but tis not brutal. Not only that but it made a hell of a difference in my handling.

 

Ordered my springs today, WAS hoping to get a hold of a certain AM individual to see about a discount, but eh I'm tired of waiting and I wanna drop my girl. Tired of folks asking me if I'll pull 'em out of the mud w/my 4x4

Will update thread with pics when I get her dropped.

Thanks guys for all the help, I'm pretty sure I rep'd you all. If I missed someone let me know and I'll take care of ya.

 

So which ones did you decide on? What about isos? None on front??

Gonna try it with stock isos first.

 

I've heard there not bad, I would ski trying the isos in in the front and just leave the front ones off

 

Im running Eibach pro kit with 1 full coil cut off in front and rear with no isos. The ride is a little harsh and its pretty noisy over bumps w/out isos. Changing to coilovers very soon but want to keep the same ride height, just want more comfort

 

::mini update::

Got my springs today. Opened the box to see if I got some cool stickers for my tool box like summit/jegs etc send, alas none. Not even a catalogue, and what I find very strange was no packing slip with return instructions or anything. Granted this is my first time ordering from AM, so maybe they don't send those things, IDK.

Either way I tore into my box to look at my pretty blue lowering springs to find them loose in two separate boxes inside the large single box. Not sure if it's just because they're lowering springs and all, but I'd hope they wouldn't send everything out like that. Some items will need some packaging.

Oh well, maybe I'm just being overly picky because I package/ship stuff for a living and all. :dunno I can say they got it shipped out to me fairly quickly, and the tracking was dead nuts on.

I'll be starting the tear down tomorrow so be prepared for pics either Saturday or Sunday.

 

I never had any packing slips, but if i had any issues and needed to send something back i just contacted them, they gave me an adress and covered shipping no questions asked. Mainly because im in Canada too so the shipping isn't free.

 

If you do no iso s wrap the top and bottom with electrical tape, it helps with the noise just thought about that
