Which FMS springs, "C" or "B"?

2FastLX · 07-27-2001, 01:03 PM

In my opinion if you are going to lower your car you might as well get some caster/camber plates to avoid the alignment problems like MTU 50 has. Don't believe what you read about the drop these springs will have with your car. Summit said they would drop my car 7/8" both front and back. They only drop the front. The stock ride height will be retained in the rear unless you cut a coil off the rear springs and the front ones actually dropped my car 1 1/2".

Tips:
Buy new spring isolators before installing the springs.

Have a friend available to help.

Be safe. Keep your body out of the springs trajectory in case they come flying out at you. This should not be a problem though.

Make sure you have access to an air compressor and an impact wrench.

Have a 6' pry bar handy

Buy some performance struts and shocks for your car before installing the springs. The stock units won't hold up with lowered springs.

Good luck!
