Default Low Down
Who sells/manufactures the lowest drop springs for the Fox Body? And how low do they drop? I am looking for a 2 inch drop in front.

RPM outlet sells Progress springs that drop a fox 2 inches. Also, Eibach Sells their sportline kit that drops like 2.25 inches all around. I just sold my set to another guy on here. shoulda mentioned it to me about 2 weeks ago, could have saved you 80 bucks or so.

The Eibach sportline kit lowers a fox around 1.7 inches. That's what they say in the catalog atleast. lol

dont drop it more than an 1.5 or youll mess up your steering and handling, youll need to modify your k member to drop it any more

if you want to drop it for looks get 2" drop spindles

2 in drop with CC plates, no problems, perfect handling. Not even sure they make spindles for Fox's.

Mines dropped lower than that and it has no handling problems. It actually handles WAY WAY WAY better. I hung a 90* corner @ 55 and cracked my dash down the center [:@]. And it steers just fine also, gotta love the 2.5 turn lock to lock ratio on the 85's .
