I've been shopping for parts for my old 140,000 mile 2002 Mustang GT, and I've found shocks, struts and front coil springs, but nobody has any rear coil springs, except the ones in lowering kits. Autozone, O'Reilly's and ebay all have stock front coils but no rear coils. What's up with that? Does this part not ever wear out??

what is wrong with yours? And why would you want stock springs? Look into the Ford B springs if your looking to keep the as close to gay OEM stance

So, 140K miles on the original springs is no problem? I guess if I don't need to replace them I won't, but I do want to get this car to the stock ride height.

Non-lowered Mustangs are ugly. Especially 99-04. Go Eibach.

Lowered rides look awesome trying to find alternate routes around speed bumps and potholes. Just sayin’...

And to the OP, the stock springs (both front & back) will last a very very long time. I’d only replace them if they are sagging, which indicates they are worn out.

If anybody needs a set of stock 2005/2009 rear coils I've got a set I'm trying to sell. They only have 50 miles on them before they were pulled off by roush

I really don't care about how the car looks, just how it drives. I like to drive my car, not look at it. I want to drive over dips and bumps without slowing down, otherwise I would have bought another minivan. If I don't need new springs to restore the stock ride height at this amount of miles, then I don't want to spend the money. If it would raise the height to get new springs, then I want to do that. Thanks for all the opinions, but at this point I'm in need of actual information.

If the springs in the car are stock, and you don’t have uneven sag, then you should be OK. If the previous owner installed lowering springs, then you’ll need to pick up new (to you) stock springs and install them. You could try your local junk yard or pick-n-pull to get the springs if you can’t find brand new ones. The springs control the ride height on these cars.

Good luck...

I have aftermarket springs (2000 GT) and have never had any problems with it rubbing or scraping anywhere, if you do want new springs just don't go to low you can get springs that don't lower it that much.

I don't think you need new springs though the stock ones will last a really long time a lot longer then 140,000 miles I had a 98 mustang GT that had over 200,000 miles on it and it had stock springs that were just fine.
