coil springs Reply #8 – March 25, 2006, 11:59:35 PM no... i got my quote in a couple days. :) the price was ~$150 Front and ~$150 for the rear. Other than that you could get a set of stock SN-95 Mustang Springs. Prolly want to get some for a V6 in the front. I believe coolcats.net has some info on the subject. I haven't had a v6 Bird/Cougar so I don't remember what springs you really need. Did you see this thread? http://foxtbirdcougarforums.com/showthread.php?t=7599 Quote Selected
coil springs Reply #9 – March 26, 2006, 12:04:45 AM nvm i think im just going to get the SN-95 springs cuz 2" is exactly the amount of drop im looking for. now those will for sure fit my car? Quote Selected
coil springs Reply #11 – March 26, 2006, 11:01:49 AM Ummm you will not get any drop with sn 95 springs in the front. I had to cut mine. Mine were GT springs but from what I've seen every newer v6 mustang out there has like 4 inches of space above the tire in the front. You would have to cut the fronts, and yea its a tad bouncy.
