SPRING RATES & DROPS: ALL IN ONE THREAD!!

[VertMustang98GT]

This thread is awesome.

I'm thinking of getting Eibach Sportlines with Koni Yellows struts/shocks.

I rode in both Sportlines and BMR Handling springs this weekend. My opinion. The BMR handled great but the drop wasn't anywhere close to the Sportlines. Both rode very similar.

Which BMR's springs were they?

I'm pretty sure Koni shock/struts are already available.

No sir. If they were they would be on my car or in transit. I am so desperate that getting the Ford Racing Struts/Shocks tomorrow.

Yea, the rake on those BMR are extremely different to that of the Eibach springs. I know BMR does combo springs with other springs they have I believe so you can have more rear drop if that's what you were looking for. I've had Eibach on other cars, they're good for the money.

I haven't tried looking into whether you can order them or not but I do see some online vendors posting them up on their website. I'm guessing they're just taking orders then?

Correct. They are ready to take your $$$$$ . I am going to give the Ford Racing a go and if I do not like them I will give them my $$$ and the Ford Racing suspension will be up for sale.

I personally think Koni Yellow's would be worth the wait. Do you have any idea when they'll be available? Are the FRPP shocks even adjustable?

Beginning of May. Bilstein and Koni. QA1 has shown some interest but will be in probably a year.

That's not that bad. It would definitely be worth the wait especially if the FRPP shocks aren't adjustable.

Yep, I did. Mine was off by a bit less than .25"

... I prefer the drop of the Sportlines to the Ultralite linears. The drop on the Steeda front springs isn't enough, IMO, and the front still looks like it has more wheel gap than in the rear.

It is possible to get the Ultralight linear in front and the Steeda Sport Linear in back. Same spring rates but not as much drop in back. I just ordered a set direct from Steeda.

Post some pictures when you get them installed. Sounds like a great setup.
