Default Ford Racing C Springs

I'm looking for a set of Ford Racing C Springs. Can you guys compete with AM.com at $150 shipped(with the forum discount.)?

Thanks!
MC

Order placed
Slightly more expensive than the other guys($23), but I'll take reliability over price.

Thanks

ALSO.
How long will it take for the springs to "Settle" once they're installed?

I believe the general rule of thumb is about 8 days. Then get an alignment.

I usually tell customers to wait a week... just to be safe.

You can eyeball the alignment for the first week...

Hey, if the alignment is off will the car swerve to the left or right?

Only if the toe setting is off, will you really notice any kind of steering issues. Both caster or camber will not really cause that problem unless its really bad. Your toe may change slightly when replacing springs, but for the most part, it will stay the same if you do not unbolt your tie rod ends when replacing the springs.

Awesome. Thanks for the info.

One last question...
How much can I expect to pay to have them installed?
$200-350?
