Default Springs

How much do you think a set of 4cyl springs and manual rack from an old tbird or stang would run at a junkyard? Just looking for ideas.
Thanks,
Caymon

I just picked up the front and rear 4 cylinder springs off of ebay for 57 bucks shipped to my door.

Dunno about the manual rack though.

Later,

I dont know if I'm just ebay stupid or what, but I cant find anything there that I'm looking for. How do you go about finding things? I've tried doing searches on specific parts and it comes up with nothing. When I generalize the search, I get thousands of things I'm not looking for.

Search for junkyards/used auto parts on the web (not ebay although that works too). I got a pair of front spindles for a 5.0 to put on my 4 cyl for $85 to my door, localy they were about that much each. I think it was www.usedautoparts.com but I'm not sure. At some of these places you tell them what your looking for and they search there boneyard database for you and the boneyards e-mail you with the price and what they have. works really good I'll be useing it again soon.

or you could spend a little bit more money and get a front and rear coil over conversion kit from www.neweraperformanceparts.com . They are affordable and will not only help you hook , but you can fully adjust the height of your mustang , the total for a front and rear kit is $344 + shipping which is a great price for what you are getting .

I considered that option, but I really want to race in FFW True Street, and I dont think that is allowed.
