which spring rate??

impaired66 · 02-04-2003, 06:23 PM

Does anyone know of any websites that tell what year mustangs have what spring rate, front and rear?? or does anyone know them all?

And, what front springs do you recommend for a 351W fox body drag car w/stock suspension? will 4cyl. fox body springs work fine?

this car is really budget so i'm trying not to buy any aftermarket springs, unless you think they make a large difference..

thanks, Josh

I think a 351 weighs about 50-75lb. more than a 5.0. If you can remove/move that much weight from the front end you should be OK.

come on.. one of you guys has to know which cars have what spring pressures?

also, if you know the svo's too that would be helpful since my car is an 84 svo..

thanks, josh

oops, sorry i didnt see the last post.. it didnt show up before i added a comment to bring the topic back to the top..

well, i can take some weight off the front, i just want the front to be pretty soft, but not too soft for a 351, and the rear to be stiff..
