Default Springs

I have eibach lowering springs in the front and rear of my 91 gt with 17 x 9... 275 40 in the rear....

i bought the car with those springs in it and its way too low and i rub the inner lip. i was wondering how much of a lift i would get if i put in stock springs. i have tried a spring spacer but it doesnt fit between the springs even after jacking the body off of them. sny pictures would help or info. thanks

stockers have a massive wheel gap. you can do a set of 4cylinder spring or some ford c springs. or drag springs!!

what kind of a car do you want it to be? are you looking for performance? cause going stock would be a step backwards.

Eibach has more than one set of lowering springs.

What kind of spacers did you try?

I ran the FRPP C springs with my '91 GT....245's up front & 275's in the rear with '95 Cobra R's (17x9") all the way around...No rubbing issues!
