front springs

greydan · 06-17-2002, 09:40 PM

I have put new bushings, tie-rod ends, and struts on my '87. It still drives 'hard' in the front.
Any way to tell if it's had trick springs put on it previously?
A bumpy road makes it feel like the front end will jar loose.
I'd as soon have something tighter than a stock spring, but if these are 'street' springs, they suck. They bottom very easily for every day driving.
How can you tell in retrospec....?

Usually, if they are Ford springs, they will have a green tag on them with the spring rate in black. It might not be there though due to weather

I like Eibach for sport springs. If you lower you car, make sure you get caster/camber plates. You probably already know that, but you'll be suprised how many ppl don't know that. I am currently running Eibach's Sprot Springs with a 2" drop. I really like how it handles and the agressive look it gave my stang. I am redoing my suspension so thoses are going bye-bye

I am installing drag springs here in a few weeks.

Thanks,
Looked, no tags or marks.
Guess I'll go for new springs and see what I get.
Puting drag springs on, pretty well keeps you off the average road, unless you have a good bladder doesn't it?
Not sure thats where I want to go.

even without the sway bar. drag springs have more coils than stock. sounds like you may have 4 cyl. springs? guessing here
