Anyone here used these Ford Racing springs?

They're even cheaper than the Eibachs that I was looking at, yet they lower the car the same amount. Just wondering if any of you have used them before. TIA.

That's what is on my car.....do you want pics?

Eibachs suck ass. They make my nuts hurt after riding in a car with them for more than 10 mins. Idk what it is but they ride much worse than the Ford Racing. I had a guy ride in mine and then sell his Eibachs to buy some like mine.

You'll like the k's. Good rates.

Thanks guys :)
And 08, pics would be great if you can get 'em.

You ask, and you shall receive.

Also, they have since dropped with the rear sway bar and the struts/springs fianlly setting in. Overall I think I got about a 1.5/1.6" drop.

X2. While the ride was nice and cushy w/ my Eibachs, the fact that they lowered the car w/o increasing the spring rates is just plainly idiotic. For example, the Bullitt springs I have now have 1/2 the drop of the Eibachs yet the front springs where the same height while the rears were actually shorter than the Eibachs. That's a big difference in rates, and it showed in handling.

Nice :). That looks right about where I want to sit. And you mentioned the struts, but did you swap them out for something else or did you keep the factory units?

08mustang_gt 04-20-2009 09:39 PM

No I got matching struts to go along with it as well. To counterbalance the lower springs I got some stiffer ones from Dynamic Suspension. That's what keeps it from feeling like someone taking a sledge-hammer to your crotch.

And as always....you need C&C plates. Highly recommended at least.

What about an adjustable panhard bar, etc? Necessary for a 1.5" drop, or just recommended? I'm used to lowering Audis, which have independent suspension at all 4 wheels.

bassman97 04-21-2009 04:07 AM

An adjustable bar is always nice to make sure the axle is centered in the car.

08mustang_gt 04-21-2009 07:20 AM

Bassman's got it. When I did mine it was an $1800 suspension overhaul so I went farther than most people. But panhard bar, and changing out the sway bars for stiffer support is much easier to do when you already have everything apart. It's better to get it all together and to do it all together. Therefore you won't have weak points in the suspension to potentailly break.
