?? Lets Talk H&R Springs ??

[black 10th vert]

Here's what H&R race with no isolators on an SRA car looks like:

Rides great with Bilsteins. Better than the stock Mach setup. With the X2s and no spring spacers you'll be SLAMMED up front. Personally I think it would look retarded if the front were any lower considering how high the rear sits.

^ that's exactly what I have been saying in these threads! I can't believe how much of a difference that 1/4" spacer actually makes, but I (and my car) am much happier with them installed!;-)

Here is my 2001
H&R Super Sports
with ISOs all around.

You may want to post a thread in the mach 1 or regular mustang section because i know for a fact that your car will not have the same stance as a cobra because the cobra's are nose heavy due to the iron block. Unless you run the iron block you won't have the same stance. I think you should get h&r super sports which are for mach's/gt's and run them with just one bottem iso. That's what i ran on my mach 1 and it sat really nice.

you can look at pics via link in sig or my signature. I have H&R race they are 720lb front 720lb rear (with irs that is)

26.0 inches front ground to fender and 26.5 rear. I left out one front isolator the rest are OEM ford isolators.

Race springs are 850 front for both SRA and IRS.

Actually, the rates for the Race IRS springs are:

F: 700-760 #/in
R: 770 #/in

Where are you getting that?

H&R 03-04 Cobra Race Spring Set [51659-88] : Lethal Performance, Performance parts for Ford Mustangs

AM shows 850 front as well. Doesn't make sense for them to sell inferior springs for the IRS cars.

 

[jrgoffin]

Got that either from H&R directly or Maximum Motorsports, but can't recall how long ago it was. I haven't swapped from my OEM springs yet, but if I go with the H&R's, I will call them again to be sure.

When you say "inferior", are you meaning that the lower front rate makes it that way? The idea of "softening" up the front and stiffening the rear is to decrease the under-steer. Anyway, I'd be fine with them at the rate that is on Lethal's site - pretty close to the '00 Cobra R.

I stand corrected, just called H&R. The fronts are 760-850 and the rears are 770. Must have gotten some bogus info a ways back!!

I've had both.You cant go wrong w/Sports or Race.The Sports have a sweet drop rite out of the box and ride quality is perfect. My vert has the race springs w/the upper isos removed its a little bit stiffer ride than the sports but you may want that if you go to the track.

My old coupe w/Spots all isos in place:beer:

Race no upper isos

:rockon:

I'm thinking about going this route with mine, but maybe getting MM ISO's so it will be a little higher, and lower my chances of killing my exhaust.
