Default ok how would this work

I want to put the frpp c springs in my car and a bud of mine says he will do it for me. The only problem is that he doesnt know mustangs that well and he asked to to ask if i needed to get new shocks w/ the spring install? he said something about me not having some bump room oor something. i really didnt understand and he could explain it to me. so I hope you guys can understand.
I dont want to do it if I have to buy more stuff other than the c springs.

thanks for all the help.

Cheddar....

People put springs on stangs all the time w/o replacing shocks/struts. You REALLY should, but only if there is a drop. It also depends on how many miles you have on the car.

C springs are close to stock, so you could prolly get away with it.

Eventually your shocks/ struts will need to be replaced, sooner then if you didnt change springs.

Chedder:

How many miles on the current suspension? The C springs don't have much of a drop, but if your current suspension is tired, you might might to swap the springs and struts. Otherwise, just toss on the springs.

You are not going to dick anything up if you use them.

If you get just the springs, your going to eventually need shocks/struts. So you might as well do it all at once.

I agree w/ Steeda. I bought my car (not knowing it had Eibach springs on) and now, at 45k and w/ stock struts/shocks, they are now shot causing my car to bounce or even bottom out on the highway. I now got the FRPP handling kit waiting to be installed for Thanksgiving.
