Nope... My '87 Sport had the same part no on the tags as most TC's...

My white TC has different codes(front & rear) than any other '87 -'88 TC I've seen... Difference??? Not A clue...

Obviously front springs are different between the two... My front is now approx 3/4" lower with the 5.0...

With a iron headed engine you should come close to 1"...

Get some from a 5 speed, should be lighter than a automatic version...

Try finding #'s for them.I really don't think they are available.

Beats me but if you check the Ford shop manual there are probably a dozen different springs for front and rear...

Likely some are just a few lbs different from the other... As I stated my white TC has different spring codes than any I've seen & I've owned 14 of 'em...
