Lowering springs for 2.3

[derek]

just wondering what shocks a lot of you guys ran on your 2.3's do the standard 5.0L springs with a 2.0 drop do the trick...?? any certian brand ride better than another?? thanks for your help guys.. also i should mention it is a daily driver so lowerd but not to stiff would be my guess..

Eibach is the only company that I know of that actually has 2.3 specific springs. Most 5.0 springs will leave the nose about 1/2" higher than it would be with a 5.0. Progressive rate springs are best for ride quality while still performing better.

When I ran Eibach's, I used the stock shocks/struts for a while, then swapped in some Tokico's and didn't really notice a difference. My stock struts weren't worn out though.

okay thanks stinger ill look into the eibach then.... do they drop the car a hole 1.5 inches???

The ones I had dropped it closer to 2.5", new spring isolators probably would have got it back to about 2" though. My old 91LX "Fourced" had the Eibach Pro-Kit.

UPR carries springs for the 2.3s for much cheaper than the Eibachs

My understanding is that they are made by Eibach. No verification of that but UPR carries/makes a good product so I will be running them.

[thanks]
