Default 4 Cylinder Springs

Since money is a huge issue for me right now, I decided to get the front springs off of a 4 cylinder mustang. How much would that lower the front end of the car? I have at least 2 inches to lower the car, so I won't have any problems right?

I am wondering the same thing. When I bought my car the guy just cut the stock springs. I have a set of 4 banger springs waiting to go on.

after my 4 cyl to 5.0 conversion I had the 4 cyl springs in still..and it had a cool stance..lowered about 1 inch in the front and still plenty of clearance..but I was stupid and replaced them with a set of 5.0 springs....should of left well enough alone

if your going for lower and handling 4 banger springs are not for you... if you want stock height->lower(depends on how worn out they are) and launching(Drag racing) then they ARE for you
