Default What color are stock springs and whats the stock ride height?

Looking at my mustang, I think I have stock springs? I can't tell. There red and I see no company name on em. Measuring the wheel well gap (Top on tire to fender) its an average of 2 inches (Parked awkward). My friend has the same mustang as me an I know mys a little lower. Anyone have information on springs cause I want NO GAP but I already scrap on speed bumps.

Stock springs are black.. they usually have little green stickers wrapped around one of the coils somewhere.. They set really high..

yes the car is lowered... very low actually...

There are rubber spring isolators that the actual coil spring sets on, they are about 1/4 inch thick.. you can takes these out and it will lower the car another half inch er so...

Some complain about screeks after this, but i haven't heard any yet

With my car on 18" wheels, the front (245/40/18) was about 28" from ground to top of the wheel well.
