Default ford racing c-springs

Do you have to install a caster/camber plate when you install ford racing c-springs or the steeda sport springs since they dont lower that much? and do you have to replace shocks and struts when changing out the springs. would love to do the ford racing springs because of the price but if you have to do the camber paltes and shocks also it gets pricy real quick.

You will be ok without c/c plates. And no you do not have get new struts/shocks, although it would improve your suspension greatly.

Did you get much of a drop with them. the pics I have seen from american muscle.com really doesnt look like you get any drop at all. would like to get rid of the gap between tire and fenderwell. thanks

The C springs are definitely noticeable but in my opinion, they are still too high. They are where the car should have sat stock while still being acceptable to drive over speed bumps.

I recommend caster/camber plates with any drop but you can avoid it with these springs.

Remove the rubber from the springs for even more of a drop, wish I did when I had them out.

What does the rubber thing do and will it hurt anything to take them out? thanks.
