With the roads around here I don't want to go lower. It sits at the same height as my wife's 2012 Mustang which is good enough for me.

I put 00' gt front coils in my bird that has 00' front control arms and kmember. I'm going to have to cut the spring to get the ride height down. Here's a pic after it settled down from the move to the new place. I stood on the bumper bar and it only dropped maaaybe 1/2 inch.

I'll try to get a shot of it outside.

Does Moog sell stock replacement SN95 springs? if so, can someone share some P/N's?

All I can seem to find are SN 95 lowering springs.

That's where I got mine. Couldn't tell you the number though, been a couple years.

Here's a different pic of the height with the gt springs.

Well I have the front end all off my car now and will be installing the new stuff shortly. Im having trouble deciding if I should put these 95 Cobra coils in untouched or if I should cut half a coil off. Reason is I have removed a lot of weight off the front of the car and dont want it to sit to high. I removed all of the A/C and power steering components, added an aluminum rad, pulled all the cruise stuff and pulled the power antenna. If I had to guess thats around 100lbs off the front half of the chassis.

Put them in uncut and see how it sits. If it's too high cut off a coil.

You can always remove a coil later but you can't add it back

ok next question..

For everyone using the MM c/c plates. Im putting mine on now and in the directions it talks about measuring the old struts distance from fenders to figure out what spacer combo to use on the strut above and below the plates depending on how much drop you have from the coils.

Well I stripped all the parts off my car before I even opened the box from MM. So I never got this measurement and Im wondering if anybody here thats using these plates with these SN95 coils happens to remember or can check their cars to see what combo of spacers they used.

The kit came with 1 then spacer,1 med spacer and 4 thick spacers.

Kinda lost where to start here..

I've got 2 thick ones on the top and the rest underneath. Do yourself a favor and despite what the directions say, take the old mounts off as an assembly after pushing the strut down through. It's a lot easier. When you're finished, see a shop for alignment, and have them set camber with you sitting in the car. I had a hell of a time until I ballasted the driver's seat while I had it on the rack setting my camber. Best you can hope for for caster is 4 degrees positive, but that's what you'll want. Ours aren't cars that like any cross caster, so make sure you've got both sides the same. I set my camber at .8 degrees negative (really close to stock) and I'm really happy with it. But definitely get more caster, the factory spec is like +1.5, and that's shiznit. go for at least +4.

Thanks for the tips. Im 300lbs so sitting in the seat while its aligned is a must.

Just to put a stamp on this for future reference here is a pic of my car 98% finished at mostly full weight using 95 cobra coils with 1/4 cut off fronts. This is with stock rear lower arms.

Only reason I cut the 1/4 coil off the front is because of all the weight I took off the front of the car. UPR k-member,removed all the A/C,removed the power antenna, no power steering with a Flaming River rack
