TC Rear Springs November 01, 2005, 12:58:01 PM Hey guys (and gals),Is there any difference in '87/'88 TC rear springs and '83 Cougar LS rear springs? Would there be any benefit to putting TC springs in a not-so-sporty car? Any difference in spring rate, height, etc? I've gotta drop out my old springs anyway to do an axle swap, so I thought if it might help, I'd try some TC's. Thanks for the info.Fordman3 Quote Selected

The one exception is my 5.0'd TC, it has different spring codes than any of my others had. What the difference is I don't know. Also it has like a 3.8 front swaybar that apparently is original.
