I don't want to go much lower with the crappy roads around here. I know ford claims the "B" and "C" springs are around an inch, but others who have installed them say it is more like 1.5 inches.

I don't understand what the different spring rates will do to affect the handling. So Knowing I want to lower it around an inch, I assume I want progressive rates, what do you recommend I buy?

I dont know whats on the rear of your car, but its sitting too high, lower the rear to match with the front.

you can look at the pics of my car , its an 89 gt. you just need adjustable control arms in the rear and level it with the front.

Huh, thats why I am asking which springs you reco to lower car about an inch. The entire suspension is completely stock.

Oh, and the car in the pic, the right side is sitting lower in a small dip do to uneven ground, on concrete the rear is not that high.

Just looking for help on understanding how different spring rates will affect handling, so I can decide which springs to buy. I am also buying rear upr control arms, and strange 10 way adjustables. Just need to decide on springs.

C springs barely drop the car.. and they ride like crap

kcsoa22

Ok, so what do you recommend?

How much did your car drop with the C springs?

C springs pictured below with 245/45/17's. Yeah, it rides like a logwaggon. But I have never seen a lincoln that could handle...... In other words, you are going to sacrifice ride quality for handling ability. There are ways to set it up to get both worlds. Tyipcally this is called "stock suspension in good condition".......
