i believe the people using fox springs are only using them in the front. I believe the ideal combo is stock gt springs in the back with the foxes in the front ranging from stock to 1/2 a coil cut. PM ZW99GT, i believe he has/had some fox springs on his ride

I can send you my 4CLY fox springs if you want them. I don't think people cut them. You cut the rears exactly 1coil , and you'll be good to go.

I really like the stance of my car, but I'm going with coilovers.

Do you have any pics of that? My car scrapes on everything, and the chin spolier is pretty damn low. I can't imagine them without a coil.

Yes sir. I'll even send you my isolators, incase some of yours a chewed up. Pop out the old, and in with the new. Mine aren't cut or modified at all, so if you wanted to go lower, you can do it yourself.

Here's the stance. Back when I had 17's. Sorry it looked so stupid. stock rear springs [:'(]

Thanks, the front has Lakewood 90/10 so it kinda just floats along , the rear is Fox V8 springs cut to height with AGX adjustables. The rear is set rather stiff but not harsh at all.[8D]
