Tbird lowering springs (http://cgi.netscape.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=7949080016&sspagename=ADME%3AB%3ASS%3AUS%3A1) :ies: :ies:
Wow what a find, can't believe nobody's jumped on those yet. I've decided to retain the air bags on my newest project for the time being or I might be tempted to snag em
It's a real good price, I already have brand new Ford 5300-D springs or I would jump on these too. :grinno:
For the uninitiated among us (myself included) what is the difference between these and regular Mustang lowering springs?
Using Mustang springs on a T-bird or Cougar apperantly causes a bit of a lower ride height at the rear as opposed to the front. The rear end "sags" if you will, even with the new springs. It's because of the excessive overhang Birds/Cats have in comparison to stangs, as well as the different geometry of the rear control arms.
Regular Mustang springs will lower a Cougar/Bird quite a bit, these are made for the weight and handling of our cars. These are probably similar to the old Ford motorsports springs, like the ones I have on my Cougar. They lowered it 1.5' front, and 1" in back, probably a little more after I get some miles on them. :)
so what will they do with a V8 tbird?
I would think it would lower it similar to my Cougar above. :grinno:
Did anyone on here win these?? :dunno:
I have a new set of lowering springs for the 84-88 TBirds by Koni. They used to make them for alot of other Ford's but discontinued them.
Someone got some good springs for their car.
