what part # on the springs.
Does your bottom pan scraps on speed bumps ?

PN# 4.1035 from the website. No scraping but it did bottom out once already when i hit a dip fast. I think when i upgrade my shocks to better ones i shouldnt have any problems. Havent went over any speed bumps yet..

why do you need a spring compressor on a mustang?

all you need is a jack and jack stand......lift car high enough put jack stand under it. put jack under A arm. jack it up some, remove sway bar and strut, lower the a arm then slowly remove the jack, press down on the A arm and pry the spring out some to it unsettles. use a chain or rachet strap to keep it from flying. once its unsettled pull it out and install new one. put jack under A arm and jack it up. put strut on and sway bar. your done

rear is faster, remove sway bar, remove bolt from control arm, lower it down with a jack slowly and then remove the jack and then pull out the spring. install spring slowly jack it up aligh the pig tails put bolt back in then attach sway bar...your done

so where do you need a compressor to take out spring? you dont need one for aftermarket springs that offer any kind of a drop when trying to reinstall

i did it totally different. for the rear i compressed the old spring, removed the sway bar then dropped the lower control arm. put the new spring in position used a jack to lift and a c-clamps to get the control arm back in position to throw the bolt in, done. the front i disco'd the steering rod, removed the shock, compressed to spring with the jack underneath the lowered the jack. the problem i was have with that with the new isolators and the angle of the a-arm i couldnt get the from coils in position without them slipping out so i had to compress them.
