RE: Lowering w/ Ford C Springs
I havent even looked at my springs but I read in a thread something about the Spring sitting correctly......think the end of the coil is suppose to be held by a stop or a lip I suppose? Anyone care to make help me out here lol. Hard to describe when I havent even looked at the spring seat or anything but its an idea.

Yea thats true, you should play the Lotto on Saturday...if you win, check your spring position lol. Was just an idea, better to have something to check then be left in the dark. I would call the company where you bought them from and let them know whats going on. They might tell you to just send em back or to give it some time to let them sag down. Basically if install is done right then its probably the wrong springs.

RE: Lowering w/ Ford C Springs
You would know if there the wrong springs.
They are not the same, mine had tags on the front springs, small green tags with product #.
You will notice that the front are shorter and more heavy duty than the back, plus different shape.
They lowered mine 1 1/2" in front and it stayed the same out back because I found out that they were shot. I could compress the rear stock springs with my hands. Were did you buy the springs?(I didn't even get install info with them in the box.) I bought mine at Stangsuspention.com. Best of luck finding out problem... Here's a pic of mine. Very DIRTY but lower.

RE: Lowering w/ Ford C Springs
well my springs came in a ford racing box and the fronts side by side are about 2 - 3 inches shorter and the back springs honestly looked identical. they are solid black and the fronts had small white paint marks down the side of the coils. American Muscle said give it two weeks and if it doesnt change then call back. but i just dont see it sagginga full inch
