Hello everyone, I have a 90 notch ssp I just installed a set of lowering springs, the front end is slammed but the rear looks like it never moved from the stock height any one run in to this issue? Thanks.

 

which brand and spec of springs, did you keep the iso's or remove them? springs need time to settle but the look shouldn't be extreme.

 

I got the springs from C.L no brand on them the guy said he got them from mustang resto and that the drop on the springs are 1.5 at all 4 corners. Iso's are installed in the rear only.

You bought generic springs? Why?

 

Yeah I guess I did buy generic springs lol.I think I'm going to cut the rears and call it a day, no wa y I'm going to remove and install another set, the front one's were a pain in da a$$!

 

Try removing the lower isolators in the rear 1st ( good for about 1/4inch or so) and then the uppers if needed..although I would run the tops imo. I have my lowers out with a small piece of 5/8s heater hose around the coil. No nvh problems at all. alot of arguements over this but it has been done for years w/o any major problems. if you feel the ride has changed then put them back in. It takes a few hundred miles for the springs to settle. I waited a long time for mine to settle and had just a slight rake in teh rear. removing the rear lower iso fixed it and now she sits perfect.

 

Ok I'll try that and I'll let u know if it did the trick. Thanks.

 

I'm thinking of going adjustable coilovers in the front and by raising the front and removing the top iso's in the rear it will level out. What y'all think?

 

What color were the springs?

 

The color of the springs are red.

 

Yeah those are the old SVE springs that Late Model Restoration sells. I have them on the 01 GT my family has and the rear didn't drop much at all, but the front did.

 

Yep those are the ones. I just order front coil over kit.

 

How long have they been on? Doesn't it take some time for them to "settle"? Mine got a bit lower after a while..

Sorry, didn't notice that. Guess the woman should keep her nose out of the mechanical talk lol!

 

No you should get involved just pointing out where the info was since I figured you over looked it.

 

Removed the springs in the front and installed gratinelli front adj coil over kit.

 

I'm ordering a set of granitelli rear lower adj control arms. You can adj (lower)the rear springs by as much as 1.5".with stock springs, in my case my lowering springs that didn't drop. LOL.
