rear lowering springs??
I installed my FRPP k springs today and the stance looks great. It was also fairly easy to do and I even installed CHE LCA's at the same time.
I'm a bit confused on the rear springs. The first 5 or so coils look like they are completely compressed at ride height. Is this normal for all rear lowering springs for the new mustangs?

Are they progressive compression springs? If so, the top of the coils appear more compressed than the lower portion of the springs.

Yep what he said the first few coils are what give you the soft ride then the more you push the suspension like road racing or twisty roads the stiffer they get to handle that curves.

Hmmm, maybe I have them in upside down? They are supposed to be progressive.
