Default RESULTS FROM LOWERING

I used ford racing 1.12 in front .75 out back

Well the front is really stiff back has alot of play.

Now my tires want to spin when ever i stomp on it in 1st and sometimes in second........ Never done this untill i replaced springs any others have this problem.

It has been 2 days i hope the rear settles some more. Becuase this sucks

I bought them at summit starting to wonder if i should return and buy even lowering kit for front and back to keep the weight on the back tires

It can take quite a bit longer than 2 days for those puppies to settle down. Took mine about a month. \
Unless u lower it so much that you almost tuck tires into wheel wells its gonna be that dramatic of a change. Its more of a subile thing that makes whole car look better, not something your eye is drawn to like hood scoops or the wheels themselves.

Those springs = not progressive rate. Which means...ride like a brick with 4 wheels.

Take'em out, sell'em and get some progressive rate springs.

I might have to do that will give a week or two for more settling the ride actually is almost the same as factory.......

I just hate changing springs with a jack and hand tools
