coilovers 89 foxbody

[Notch_89]

whats a good coil over spring for the front of a 89 foxbody 12" or 14" i have 200lb 12" springs and strange adjustable struts and ccplates. i get the ride height right and i have no suspension , coils are bound up

Depends on weight of the front end but, 14" 175lb or 150lb is the norm!

[Notch_89]

not sure of weight of car, is stock weight wise. but ive heard alot of guys say dont use a strange strut and 14" spring together

[orangedemon331]

Not sure, but ive always ran a 14" spring on my cars

[Notch_89]

ok the car is pretty stock, motor and and all, nothing been removed to lighten it up so would a 14" with a 175 spring be the way to go then ? and iam also running a strange adjustable strut

[orangedemon331]

Sounds like a good choice!! yeah its the same struts i have!

I could not get my car as low as I wanted in the front with a 14" spring. I swapped to a 170lb 12" front spring and it's much better now. This was recomended by Dave Zimmerman at Team Z which is what suspension I run up front.

BTW, I was running a 351w at the time.

ok so if i understand this the 14"/175 will give me height and travel versus 12"/200 stiff and no travel at the same height?

If im not mistaken,I run a 12'' front spring on mine also. I have no clue what the back springs are.

I run a 12" 350lb springs but mine is street car that I want to handle not a drag car.

[Notch_89]

hows the ride and travel with a 12/350?

[mustangboy]

Actually rides quite good. Everyone thinks it would be a really rough ride but it is not at all. Not a good drag setup but if you want a good handling street car that does not beat your brains out works great.:bigthumb
