They will be perfect with 18's. It gave me a noticeable drop without having to worry about scraping. Right like stock too.

I have B springs but here's a before and after pic of mine. The front end IMO is toooo low and the rear end isn't low enough. I don't know what the problem is but im trying to get used to it and I am really cautious about going of bumps. I've scraped the K member pretty bad once already.

I screwed up the oder of the pics but I think it's easy to see.

It is a decent drop. I have them on my rear and did have them all around and it looked good. Not too much of a drop, but just enough.

they are probably the smallest drop of any springs out there... but it's noticeable. the drop is supposed to be less in the front than the back. all in all I love my ford springs and would go with them again.

I dunno aboot scraping the k member, that almost sounds impossible to me, but my xpipe w/ cats scrapes on the biggest speed bumps and really steep and short driveways if I'm not careful. stock, my car never scraped the front end on a ditch or driveway, but lowered you will scrape a little if you are not careful. ford actually had a very practical reason for the 4x4 look.

I have them and they werent low enough for me so I cut 1 1/4 coil off the rear and 1/2 coil off of the front and I love them now. (the ride quality is very close to stock still)

I have the B's on the front, stock rear. Have to watch out for the big dips/bumps, but no more than would be expected for this kind of car. I'd say the B's are want you want for most street uses, since I don't know of any city that actually has smooth intersections and driveways...[:@]
