im am going to be getting springs within the month and have a problem. i really like the look of the h&r ss springs, but i wanna have a good launch. i wanna have good handling and still bust out of the hole, is this possible. also how much do i need to cut 4cyl in front and stock in back to have a sexy drop like h&r supersports.

i really want the best of both set ups i just dont think that is possible, any suggestions or advice is appreciated

Lowered to the level of H&R you are not gonna have great success with the 4 cyl front/stock back
I run 4cyl up front non-cut and C's in the back and that's decent

How much of a drop was that

lizzyfan

Close to an inch
Few guys on here have cut 4cyl/C springs and have done well launch wise
Talk to Jay C, Zach99Gt, or 01GT4.6

So what makes the H&R SS springs not good for launching? I was under the impression stiffer springs helped for a better launch.

Before I had the stang I owned an SRT4 and the stiffer springs, especially in the back, immensly helped out my launch.

So why would H&R be better for handling and the 4cyl or C springs be good for launching?

i know a soft spring in the front helps launching because it allows the front to rise easier with a rear wheel drive. makes sense that you would need stiffer springs in the rear with a front wheel drive so that the car doesnt squat in the rear thus keeping the weight over the front end.

A much higher spring weight in the back especially has very poor weight transfer
