I'm not sure if someone has already mentioned it but you have to rememeber that the 4 banger springs aren't as hard so your handling will be a lot spongier and softer. Theres a lot of flex in those things with the wait of the V8 on it.

with a good pair of struts you wont even notice a ride change. when i put on my 4 banger springs in, i took out my sway bar. with my strange struts set on 6 the car handles great. my car is my daily driver and i dont even notice it.

ORIGINAL: 88stangaruu

To tell you the truth i read it on another site about a guy taking his rear shocks off and i was wondering if there was anything to it, guess not. It sounded stupid when i read it, just wondering.

But i think im just going to throw those springs under the front before my buddy gives them to some body else. If it doens't sit right it no prob to just take em back out i guess.

But if anyone does know for sure that the front will equal out to the rear, please help me on this before i rip my front suspension apart this weekend.
Are you sure you didn't read about him taking his quad shocks off?? that's a whole different ballgame. get some better U/L control arms in the rear and get rid of the quads.....
