I would like to get a et of ford racing springs for my '99 Vert that would drop it 1.2". Would the stock adjustment be enough for a proper alignment? How much have YOU gotten away with or tried and found that it was not going to work? mark

i have those springs... good ride..... back was a little higher then the front....

i have a coupe though

i don't have alignment issues

Yeah you will be able to keep everything stock with those springs and just get a good alignment and you will be mint. 1.5+ is usually when people have to do c/c's.

so u are saying if i get springs that do over a 1.5 drop u have to get c&c plates to get it properly aligned

Do you remember what letter was at the end of the part #? They are usually 5300-"X" and for a vert it is a "G" but for a coupe you can get from Jegs or Summit "B"'s for $139. or "C"/s for $145. The former drop the front 1 1/8" and the rear 3/4", same as the "B"/s but Summit carries all 5 or 7 sets of Ford spring sets that Ford has available. That would help as 1 1/8" is 1.125 and really the same for all practical purposes the same as 1.2"!! mark(THANKS!)

Yep that's what we are talking about. makes sense Ford would stay within the factory limits. thanks and any more experiences would still be apprecaited. By the way is that paint orange? I like the orange I have seen but not many that color that I have seen, mark
