A friend of mine with an LX 4.6 is doing a custom set up on his bird. He likes the 'raked' look of the old cars where the back is higher than the front. He currently has a set of H&R springs that were supposed to lower the car 1.5" in the rear and 1.75" in the front. He wants to increase the 'raked' look by purchasing a set of Intrack springs rated for a 2" drop (2" front and 1 5/8" rear drop) and only use the fronts. So, to sum it all up, he wants the 2" drop in the front with Intrack springs and a 1.5" drop in the rear with H&R springs. So, he will have a left over set of springs in which the front are H&R springs for 1.75" drop and a rear Intrack set for 1 5/8" aka 1.625" drop (which would also give a slight 'rake' effect too).
Now, my questions are:
1-would the differences in the ride height of these springs affect anything or cause any problems? I remember reading something in terms of how the difference in height COULD throw off the ABS computer (I might be completely wrong about this).
2- after all these are 4.6 v8 springs, are they compatible with sc's? Im not sure of the weight differences between the v8 vs the sc engines.
3- should I buy?
Any help or suggestions are appreciated. He would sell me the left over springs for relatively cheap, but i wanted to check with you guys to make sure they would work on my car with no problems. ......oh, and by the way, If they do work i havent considered in which car they would go. Either the 89 or the 94 sc, so thats something to consider. Thanx!
