Well, it took me about 3 hours, and 1 of those hours was disassembling the trunk But I got them all in and I measured the front before and after. Before 28" even, from ground to fender lip, after 26.7", I expect another .3-.4" drop after some settling. The ride is good, no more squating when accelerating, or nosediving. Still have the stock SE struts, I didn't kmow they were Tokico's from the factory. Hopefully my 60' times will improve since the weight transfer is all but gone. Car looks 110% better now, I should have pics up on my homepage tomorrow.

 

Im not sure if there's a direct realation....but I ran a 14.8. and my brother ran a 15.2 both with Frankencars.... I swear I launch better with the Maxspeeds. I also have a FSTB and a RSB. My car handles TIGHT ! I love it. After about 2 months I can say I have about a 1.5 drop up front and 1.2 in back .

 

do you have stock shocks?

 

Congrats...another satisfied MS owner.

 

Alright, help a "suspension illiterate" person out. What exactly are maxspeeds? Are they just replacement springs? What is involved in putting them in?

 

Anyone in the Northeast have these? I want to do it, but I am a lil nervous bout snow plowing

 

I think they definately helped my launch because the front end does not jump up anymore with the weight transfer, so basically is keeps the weight on the front tires. My 60' went from high 2.4's to an average of mid to low 2.3's.

 

with the on going questions on trimming the bumpstops...did anyone here have to do it? I got my maxspeeds from the last GD but haven't put them on because this queston keeps coming up with HR's and Eibach springs...does it apply to us too?

 

Yes, they are lowering springs.

 

I have'nt trimmed my bumpstops, I rode around with 4 people in it last nite, and no bottoming out. Still have stock struts too.

 

H&R says no trim, Eibach says trim, so different people say different things. I have not trimmed mine on the H&R's and I have loaded that car with people on shiite roads and no bottoms... So I don't think they need to be trimmed provided that you have the right spring rate...

 

Woah, you work mighty fast!
Anyways, did you take any before/after pics?

 

I have some before pics, I will have the after's up soon, and my 60' dropped to a 2.23 tonite at the track, and my MPH was up to 96.7 in the 112 deg heat today

 

What was your 1/4 mile time?

 

14.59@96.70 was my best. Not bad considering the heat.

 

It seems like we have similar taste. I have had 4 stangs before the max, including 2 93' Cobra's. One difference though, you still have yours I presume, and I unfortunately got rid of mine.

Are you going to the meet today?

 

hmmmm my rear looks lower than my front, i take a pic tommorrow
weird! I got Maxspeeds and stock GLE struts
Roger

 

For some reason my car looked like that two for about a week, Now its fine.....

 

Mine is the opposite, 26.5" front (from ground to fender lip) 27.0" rear

 

at first my rear end look'd like it was jack'd up, but after a month or so it looks nice and even.. i like the drop of the MS. And AC road's r hell.. for ne of the ppl that drove to HIN should know..
