Fox body 4cyl front springs (no vert springs) cut 1/4 coil (I got mine off a junked out 82 stang) $35
Fox body v8 rear springs cut dead coil + 3/4 another coil (got mine off of a 81 t-bird or some other pile of dookie) $35

Cheap eBay control arms upper & lower $140
CGS subframe connectors $25 + $25 to have them welded on

Total investment in suspension parts = $260

You'd be ok cutting your rears, not your fronts though.

hey md what about your shocks, struts and camber? did all that cutting drop your car low enough to need any upgrades in that dept?

when i lowered my car, i went with c&c plates mainly to add to adjustability i was also running tokico illumina's front and back with eibach springs. having a adjustable shock/strut helps improve launching with a lowered car..
