driveway spring swap?

Japhar81 22 February 2005 02:23:46
 I just got a nice gift, a set of ford racing springs -- 1" lowering
apparently... Anyone know if this is a driveway weekend project? Ive never
done a spring swap on a mustang, is there a howto or anything out there?

It's not that hard at all. I did it on a 95GT and had no problems.
MAke sure you have some sort of breaker bar to get the front calipers
loose. This was the only tool I didn't have (well I had it but the
extension broke off due to cheapness of it )
There are write-ups online. I think I used one on stangnet but could
not find it now (they renewed some stuff, am sure if you ask them they
can send it)
Also, once the psrings are settled (a week or so), go get an
alignment.

 You can rent a spring compressor @ your local auto parts store.

HTH.
