Fox Body lowering springs?

[NO2MORO]

Looking for good ride quality. H&R or would you use Ford B springs?

I have H&R on my IRS and I like them but I do not know how they ride on live axle 93 GT.

I don't think any of them are going to have "good" ride quality compared to the IRS. I'd just go with whichever ones I could find the best deal on.

+1 Lowering springs will always ride stiffer. I personally
like the Ford C springs.

I had 'B' on my Cobra. Ride quality was decent

I've got C-Springs w/ Tokico Blues and it's a firm ride, but not harsh. The car was jacked up with them, so the front was cut 1 coil and rear was dead coil +1/2.

Changing the shocks/struts along with the springs is going to make a tremendous improvement in ride quality. My '98 GT had Eibachs and stock shocks/struts...that car would rattle your teeth loose. :notnice:

I've got C-springs (one & 1/2 coil cut off) w/Tokico 5 way adjustables in front. Can't remember which springs I'm running in the rear, but I got the Tokico "blues"... MM panhard bar & lower control arms. Factory uppers with urethane bushings. Car really isn't that harsh... but certainly no "slosh box"... Maggie's 2.3 lx I installed GT sway bars, Saleen front springs and C-springs in the rear. All factory control arms. New oem style struts & shocks and it feels more harsh than my 5 liter.

They say that a variable rate spring offers a better ride quality. Also, you have to consider what you are going to use for spring isolaters. Factory ones offer more cushion than say a Prothane, but whichever way you go there, make sure you got something in... A lot of people will take them out to get an extra 1/4 - 1/2", but it really sacrifices ride quality.

The 98 Cobra has Eibachs, I hate them with a passion. I have used the racecraft on live axle and they rode good. I have not seen any of these for sale in the last several years.

I have delt with Eibach since my import days, they have always been junk, they don't put any research in to there parts. The same spring goes on 79-04

As long as you stick with a progressive spring and keep the drop to around an 1" you should be ok with the ride.

Eibach sucked. Beat me to death. irs rear is the better of all the rides to me. Feels so good in the svo.

Heya NO2 did you try out the ford racing B springs? and if ya did how did you like them ive been doing some research and would rather ask someone that has some.

[NO2MORO]

They are for a customer. He chose H&R sport spring. If he does not like them we will try B springs. I will update once installed.
