Springs

[shobob]

I got the front one's on and yes it is lower. Hope to have the back on sometime between now and the weekend.

Easy when coming to stops you don't' want to do an endo!

Get 'er done! Looks like I should wait till I get my Mustangs out, it'll probably be a few days for me to put them on also. Can't wait to see some pictures and get some feedback on how you like 'em.

 

[darreli]

Well I'd like to post some pics but I'm not very good at resizing them!

I can give feedback however. I think the look is much improved over stock. The ride is pretty close to stock. The weather has been really nice here so I've been wanting to lean on it, however, we've been working on the tune after the cai and haven't been able to push it as much as I'd like.

Overall for the money I give it 2 thumbs up and give it a worthwhile upgrade!

I would love to see some pics of your car with the springs, and Bob when he finishes installing his. I am just afraid to install because this is my work/play car. I do about 800-1000 Miles a week, mostly highway. (no i am not a drug runner) . If you are not seeing a difference in the feel of the ride, compared to stock, i might pull the trigger. I got quoted for an install of <$200. Let me know what your opinion is.

 

[darreli]

No you'll be fine! I use my car as a daily driver. Dont fear pulling the trigger!!

Thanks for the opinion darreli. I saw some pics of yours, the one in front of the wall made me say yes... I like that look. I also like what you said that there was little compromise in the ride. Still no rubbing issues I hope. Just got to wait to get a few rain days and make sure all the salt is washed off the roads before I pull out a Mustang. I'm probably gonna turn this into a several day project.

Here is a picture of the car with new springs.

 

[shobob]

One more.

 

[shobob]

It look's so much better and ride's about the same.

The car looks great Bob! Very nice job. Nice wax job too. That's the way it should have come. It looks like a mini lift kit is on it from the factory. Those are the H&R springs, right?

 

[shobob]

Yes they are and I have not waxed it yet. It stays inside all the time.

 

[SHO U UP]

Looks killer Bob! Fantastic stance it has. Thanks for the pics and keep it inside the garage as long as you can. The sun sure loves to fade some paint. Mine stays tucked away too for safe and secure keeping.

Just ordered the springs from the Tire Rack. Looks like they were the last set they had... $253 to my door.

Edit: I just checked the Tire Rack, it still says fewer than 2 available.

 

[shobob]

I have not had it aligned yet. darreli do you know how they adjusted you caster and camber?

 

[darreli]

Hmmm...no. I know it was a 4 wheel alignment and it cost me $150 but i dont know how they did it

 

[shobob]

Dove the car to work today. Here is my imput on the springs. They did lower it a lot mybe to much. I get some noise when I hit bumps hard, like something came loose. But it is all thight. Plus the camber is way off. I have found that there is no adjustments for the camber on these cars. I did ask darreli about his alignment. I well not drive it till I find out about the adjustments. I am thinking may of putting rubber in, to maybe bring the height up some.
If anyone know anything please help.

Looks really nice lowered, adds to the aggressive stance. How did you get those calipers so glossy, what did you use?

 

[shobob]

Just red caliper paint. If I do not upgrade the brakes to bigger one's when someone has them. I am going to take them apart and powder coat them.

 

[SHO U UP]

I wonder if they will make adjustable camber plates for them or if we will have to mod the upper holes to get it aligned right like the older gens??
