RE: 4cyl springs
spring rates on 4's and 8's differ
160 and 200+pound rates, if you have both in hand you would
notice a noticeable difference in sizes
the 4cyl rears will make them ride smoother,think the 4 might be soft for street use on a v8 fronts although, think i saw where they were just in the low to mid 300 pound spring , stocks are 425 +
might save a headache

RE: 4cyl springs
Four banger springs would likely hurt your 60' times. You want a lot of rebound in the front to provide assistance with weight transfer. Softer springs in the front will not provide a lot of rebound. Stiff in the front, soft in the back is how you want it. I'd just man up and buy some FRPP C springs. You get your drop and keep good handling characteristics. Got 'em on mine. Haven't been to the track yet but it grabs good on the street. NO wheel gap with 245/45/17's. You can't get one finger between the top of the tire and the inner fender. Rides like a logwaggon but I can have you plastered to the door in a corner before the tires even peep.

Adam, are you a member of SSOTN? If you are, hit up Rel3rd, he had a couple of fox bodies w/ 4 cyl spring on them. I'm sure he can hook you up w/ pics.
