June 17 2014 .
Sick of having the front end so low I found on a local Mustang Forum a used set of Ford Racing C spring model M-5300-C for $60.00 .
They claim :
"1979-1993 Estimated Drop: Front 7/8"; Rear 1/2" .
I haven't seen my LX in stock form ( suspension wise ) but I think the front drops more than 7/8" but the rear is real high so yes 1/2" sounds pretty much right.
There is enough dead coil so I can cut them no problem .
So finally my front & rear springs were 99% sure OEM but cut and still they are longer than the Ford Racing C Springs but I'm sure the rate is different .
Left is the one I just took out and right the new one.
Old rear front of the picture and new one rear .
The front is dirty and that's it , no rust , not a bolt jammed anywhere yet.
Front with stock spring cut
Now with C Springs , I was expecting it to sits higher .
Rear with stock spring cut
It went up 1 full inch . 4X4 time
Rear does sit high a little .
I'll take the car out this week.
Can't wait to see the difference between cut OEM springs and uncut one with different rate.
I'm sure the car will be more fun to drive and stiffer .
