![]() I'm thinking about putting a new set of springs on the ol' stang. It's been "bottoming out" (in dips and bumps, the back end just drops down and bounces off the pinion snubber) in the rear. I put new shocks and struts (Gabriel w/VST) on and it still does it. I've only got 44,000 miles on the clock, actually less miles than that on the car cause the speedo runs fast with the 3.73s. Anyways, what are the best ones to use? I don't want to go much over 1.25 inches. In fact a 1.25 inch drop is about the max I want to go. Much over 1.25 inches and you move your center of gravity too much and lose handling and performance. How are the Eibach? Anyone having any trouble with them, such as bottoming out? How's the ride? How about the Ford C springs? I heard you also have to cut the rears on the C springs a little. Anyone done this and what are the results? Where are places to get good prices at? Let me know what ya'll think.
