Stang Suspension Brand springs

theponyfactor · 02-01-2007, 10:03 PM

Has anyone had any experience with them? I know it's the cheap way out but they say they'll lower car 1.7-1.9" which seems like a nice drop to me. If you have any info on them please let me know. dankeeeeee

i wouldnt go that low without replacing struts and shocks. you are going to kill your stockers...

I plan on doing springs, shocks/struts, and c/c plates.

that low will negatively affect your car's handling. 1.5" in front is as far as you should go without substantial additional parts. It'll just chew up the tires and handle like a sled.

Why don't you tell us how you drive (bat out of hell, maniac, too fast, fast, granny), how you'll use it (curves?) and we can go from there. Also... what's your budget?

sorry i havent replied, been gone on vacation.

I would say i drive like an old man. Usually doing speedlimit and not much else. Basically I just want to lower it for looks, not for taking curves faster. I guess my budget would depend on what i need to get. the cheaper the better, but if it gets over 800-1000 i dont think ill be able to buy the stuff real soon.

get yourself a Bullit/Mach1 spring and shock kit and install it without the spring isolators. You should end up with 1.1" - 1.3" drop all the way around and a great look for super cheap. You can get bullit suspension kits off ebay for hella cheap.

Alternately, steeda or H&R sport (not super sport) springs and a set of Tokico HP (blue) shocks and struts. All that together will land easily in your budget and you'll thank me later for not fuggin up the ride quality of your stang.
