Lowering A Vert

Pimpin Pony · 08-29-2006, 07:40 AM

I was wanting to use Roush springs to lower my car. I have heard that they are the best mix for handeling and still having a comfortable ride. Can I just buy the regular springs, or do I need to find some kind of special spring for a Vert? I would also like to get a roush suspension eventually. Is there a special suspension that I have to buy for a vert or is the regular suspension package just fine?

I don't believe Roush makes a V6 S197 suspension kit. If you're trying to maintain comfort and improve handling, Eibach is one of the few well known companies who make springs rated specifically for the V6 S197 Convertible. As for the rest of the suspension package (shocks, struts and possibly a pinion snubber) ask Eibach, or whoever you buy the springs from, what their recommendation is based on the end result you're looking for.

LOL Blackfoot, pinion snubbers are stock bump stop replacements when lowering your car to a point where the stock bump stop is too high.

Heres a pic of the Roush:

You Ford tech guys have to get up to speed - this is not a new item. LOL Just kidding.
