Im looking to get some new springs for my Stang, but I know in the past i had to also upgrade my struts and shocks, because of the pogo effect. I had this problem before with my GTP, I ordered springs and no strut upgrade and got a pogo effect. My question is had anyone just replaced thier springs and kept stock struts and shocks and had no problems? Any help would be great.
Thanks |

for any drop over 1.5", you will definitely want to get new struts and shocks to eliminate the bouncing effect, but if it's just mildly lowered, your stock struts/shocks will do fine for a while, but it's a good idea to change them.

On my '95 Cobra I originally just changed the springs to Steeda springs. The ride with the stock struts/shocks was very good. Once they wore out I replaced them with Tokico HP's (Blue). The ride now is very firm but not bouncy. Your ride firmness also depends a lot on the profile of your tires. The lower the profile, the more of the road you will feel.
