Title: Spring guru's..help please.
Post by: Beau on January 03, 2010, 09:21:11 PM
I've found a set of springs fairly nearby, but not sure what they're from. The ad says '96 Mustang...but wanting to double check before I call the guy...

Anyway, here's the numbers:
Part# 8725/70.0 (Front) 
Part# 5560-AEA (Rear) 

I searched, not a lot came up...they're aftermarket, but the shiznitty pic in the ad doesn't tell me a whole lot. I DID email him...ut if someone responds here first..well, that's cool too. TIA

Not full part #'s

The 3-letter codes are also a bit more useful than the part #.

Ahh ok...that's all the guy had posted in his for sale ad, but I did email him asking for more info. Thanks Chuck :D

Actually that first set is not a part number, but actually the load rating and spring rate.

1961#/ 400 lb/in

Digging up my '97 Mustang suspension part number spec sheet, I bet the front letters are "CCC" and the rears are "PPP".

I'm guessing a 2V V8 non-convertible.

Well, the guy wants 40 bucks for all of 'em...was just wanting to make sure I could use 'em without ill effects before I bought 'em..IF I buy them lol.

Thanks again Chuck!

(also explains why I was having no luck searching them myself, incomplete #'s)
