They work great for me! What ever you do, don't go with stiffer springs like I did if you're looking for a drag oriented set up. I'm going to end up swapping out my FRPP C springs for 4 banger front springs and moroso tricks in the rear. That'll be a while before I do that though.

Well i already got springs on there, so if i need to replace them that'll prolly be one of the last things i do suspension wise, or i'll just do em when i do the shocks/struts. They are BBK lowering springs, prolly stiff ?

Yeah they're probably pretty stiff dude. But they will do alright. So far I've got this done to my suspension and it handles pretty good:

upper and lower rear control arms
FRPP C springs
strange 10 way adjustable shocks and struts
MM XL series subframes (going to be welded in this weekend)

I still need to pick up some battle boxes and swap out those springs. But after I get mydrag radials, this car should hook pretty damn well out of the hole.

I know on our sn95's when they sit lower than an 1.2 in. drop the stock springs and struts will clunk and affect the ride some. You are prolly better off getting the foxbody length shocks and struts because fox's sit lower than our cars.
