Are you looking for ride height or traction. A "lowering spring" can just be a cut stock spring or a progressive rate spring, or a shorter and progressive spring. Depends on application. Coil overs are a set k rate spring, that is just compressed until a specific ride height and or quality is met. There is a lot of flexability with them. I started with the 190lb springs that are considered light for foxes, but ended up with a 170lbr. If you have a lot of weight taken out of you car, this will effect both the look and the characteristic of the springs handling. confused.gif

just lookin to lower it and make it have a nice stance...car will have full interior....carb'd 302....and a fiberglass hood....it has no power options or a/c...so it will be a bit lighter than ur standard 86-93 EFI fox...i wuold like it to handle pretty decent too....but more worried about how it sits than handleing , im tryin to make it a fun alll around car, that can run a decent time with drag radials but also handle nice and go pick up groceries at stop and shop ya know?

i started with using my 4 cylinder springs years ago afetr doing my 4 cylinder to 5.0 conversion. i then switched to Eibach springs for a few years. ride was better but not what i was looking for & the car sat too high for my taste. then when i started building up my 88 to 1988 Saleen specs i bought a full set of low mileage used Saleen/Racecraft progressive rate springs. a much firmer ride which i really like because it makes the car more responsive in the turns & handling & gave the perfect ride height. my car is built with handling in mind & not the drag strip. these springs car still be found on Evilbay once in awhile.
