Just took a quick guess over what I know buildings mustangs over the meny years these springs should drop the bird around 2" give and take how I do it seeing how stock SN slings drop a bird

2" is what I'm looking for ........ I already have a truck lol


If it does work and drop it that much..im wondering if you need shorter sway bar end links and a bumpsteer kit?

Even if it was around 1 1/2 it would still need a bump steer and cc plates to make things right

And I've never had a problem with sway bars

No issues with sway bars? I am running into a issue where the sway bar mount bushings were loosening up. A few people told me that the sway bar might under too much tension and that running shorter links might fix it. I myself had CC plates on my car when I bought but it was at stock height :hick:.

I dont have a bump steer kit on mine because I wasnt sure if I needed it..im starting to 2nd guess that now thou lol

No traffic In my other thread so ill bump this one

The springs did what I thought they would ...... Slam it lol

That's what I wanted and I'm very pleased the ride is not very bad at all and handles way better so far no issues

Now I need rims again I went from cobras to bigs and littles to ten holes lol

The tie-rods should be parallel with the ground or at least that is what I have always been told as a good starting point with regards to bump steer if you do not have the gauges and plates to properly dial in the bump steer kit.  The sway bar ends should be parallel to the ground which is most likely going to require that you buy shorter bolts for the end links and shorten the spacer between the inner bushings.  From what I have experienced anything that drops a Fox Body more than an inch from factory benefits from the CC plates.

Mine's dropped around an inch, and I've got the toe adjusted as best I could using strings and careful eyeballing, with a tape measure thrown in for luck, and mine is....touchy...my tie rods are parallel though, so I'm guessing mine needs to spend a visit at the alignment place sometime. Much more pressing needs right now, however. A windshield being at the top of that rather lengthy list. I still do not wish to speak of the matter. Grrrrr.

The tie rods should be even with the ground when you lower a car it points them up a bump steer kit will drop them back down

Stock struts and shocks and surprisingly it rides good with the progressive springs
