lowering springs Reply #1 – July 17, 2014, 07:00:00 AM I used '99 Mustang springs in mine. My Bird is an '88, but would work the same in your car. Quote Selected

lowering springs Reply #8 – July 28, 2014, 12:08:10 AM ^^Cutting springs will lower the car. But with lowering springs you can get stiffer springs. You can get progressive spring rates or constant spring rates. I noticed that my car dives A LOT LESS under braking with stiffer springs Quote Selected

You can get progressive spring rates or constant spring rates. I noticed that my car dives A LOT LESS under braking with stiffer springsBut cutting the springs does change the spring rate as it is a function of coil diameter, number of coils, and thickness of the steel used to make the coil. **SpringRate = (Thickness)/(nCoils*CoilDiameter)So with all things being equal reducing nCoils increases ones spring rate, so yippee! **This functional relation was obtained from the internet @ http://www.therangerstation.com/tech_library/coilspringrate.shtml and is being posted onto the internet by someone someone on the internet no warranty written, expressed, or implied.
