Hi Guys, I was looking under my stang when I did my gears and noticed that the springs were yellow (I wouldn't think that would be the color from the factory but I dont know) I was just wondering if it was lowered or stock height, and if it is aftermarket does anyone know what kind of springs are yellow? here is a picture to help you see it...





Thanks for your help guys!!

What size tires are you running? (all three numbers please) They don't appear to be OEM, so I am thinking yes, about 1" drop. Combine this with a lower profile tire and you have a similar wheel-gap.

Im running;
245/45/zr17 in the front
275/40/zr17 in the rear

Thanks for the reply jazzer and for the comprehensive suspension tech article very informative!!

The front is an OEM size tire, so it appears you are running about a 1" drop. I cannot tell you what the maker of the springs, but are certainly aftermarket, as OEM are black.

Jazzer says thank you

PS. Looks as though you are running an 8" wheel out back and recommend you either go wider wheels or step down to a 245 next time you need tires. A 275 is a poor fit on an 8" wheel and can create some minor safety issues and reduced grip out back.

I appreciate the input again, I will be planning soon on 315's in the rear end. is a 10" wide rim wide enough for this, and just to save me some research what would be the ideal backspacing be?

Jazzer The Cat

You will want a 10.5" wheel for a 315 tire The off-set is +24mm~+27mm and about 6.5"~6.8" back-space.
