Makes the ride even rougher though.

If mine doesn't sit how I'd like it to when the rear is finished, I'll probably cut my TC springs and try those.

i'm still very happy with my SN-95 springs. Now, I got them for free. If I had to pay, I may still have the stock springs under there.

Here you go this is how we do it. It increases the spring rate a lot and it lowers the car 1-1 1/4"

Hey Tom, what spring is that? Is 1-1 1/4" after the car settles? Thanks, Herb.

I stopped for a little while to wait for my buddy to plumb my brakes . With the extra time on my hands I installed an 87-88 Turbo coupe 8.8 rear and CHE control arms. I'm going to have the rear rebuilt with a 31 spline Detroit locker which I already have, 4.10 gears which I already have, 31 spline axles and 99-04 brakes which I don't have yet . My buddy who's going to do the rear end work said it did'nt matter to him if the rear was installed or not so I put it in . My only problem now (besides a lack of funds

) is that my fox tie rods are too short to fit my 99 spindles ( I thought I had 98 spindles but they must be 99s) . I called AGR who made my rack and they said 94+ tie rods (inner and outer ) will fit so we'll see in a few days .

ricktjr... Can I see a picture of the front before you take them out ?
Are you useing Isolators ?
Also, I think its wise to say if the car is just sitting around it will be about 1/4 higher than when you drive the car for a week or so.
I had a friend swap SN95 springs and cut the front one coil. It looked even for a week in his drive way (without driving it). Then he drove the car for a week straight and it settled down 1/4"
Is your car a V8 or what?
Just in case. If you decide to get rid of the rears I'll be waitting :) I got dibs on the Coil Spring Specialties or the Mach 1s

Call me 267-625 6054 about the springs I'm not using when you get a chance .

I DO know fox outer rod ends won't work with SN95 inners, or the other way around....no idea if SN95 inner rods will fit a Fox rack.

Turns out the sn95 inner and outer tie rods fit the fox rack and the length is just what I needed .

I already got mine lowered. I used Steeda Sport front spring (1.25" drop) and stock 94-04 Mustang rears. Its totally low as can be. However, I'm considering converting to coil overs on the rear so I can bump up the rate and play with the ride height.
I need rear shocks and since Bilsteins are $120 or so a piece, if you buy from Maximum Motorsport the coil over kit is only about $70 more on top of that. So, thats probably what I'm gonna do. Thanks anyway.

Heres my car with the current set up I listed above.
