Interesting, how did you get them off the perches? Sounds like an easy way to save some knuckle skin!
yup. that would be it. We installed them at my friends house in the middle of a bbq. the rears at least. haha.
Damn imagine an Uncle owning a Ford dealership wtf! No wonder he is top dog, he also gets a CJ
His Uncles own alot of dealerships his dad used to own one too untill he had a motorcycle accident.
Matt's uncle Les Owns Les Stanford Chevrolet "the corvette King"
For the record Matt bought the Cj with his own hard earned money
The reason why he is the top salesman in a dealership that is ranked the #1 ford dealer in michigan Is because He is a very stand up guy.
I bought a V6 convert from him back in 06. I regret getting My GT down here in NC. The next car I buy Will be from Matt even though he is 700 miles away.
My father just bought a new F150 from him. While talking to Matt my father confided in him that he was getting Prostate surgery.
A week after my dad went under the knife, Matt came over in his F150 and keep his Driveway plowed untill my dad recoverd from the surgery.
So While its nice that Matt's uncles own the dealerships. Matt is definatly a "self made man."
No flame Just wanted to clarify

Sounds like a good man to me. What does he think of the CJ?

Looking at the ride height of the CJ, its not that low, surely they wouldnt use V6 springs all around and then try and sell them as CJ springs would they?
Are the CJ's running with front struts or adjustable coilovers?

For $65 who cares what they're out of. They could be out of a riding lawnmower. They work. They're cheap.

They're the same strut/spring design all the S197's have.

true, but you could find a v6 owner who has removed their "Cobra Jet" springs and get them for like ten bucks online or a junkyard.

By one person who bought the car. Not by anyone from Ford.

drop the shock one side at a time and you can just grab the spring by hand and pull it out

I didn't need anything either. Just unbolt the shocks with a jack under the pumpkin and the frame on jackstands.

If indeed these CJ springs turn out to be V6 springs (and there is a good chance of it) the GT and V6 COUPE have IDENTICAL rear spring rates and the front GT spring rates are 136.5 lb/in-23.9 N/mm and the V6 is 114.2 lb/in-20.0 N/mm according to page 11 of the 2005 Motor Vehicle Manufacutrers Specifications issued 10/25/2004-possible there couldve been a revision along the way but if not I really dont see much of a difference between the two and a benefit of taking the stock GT coupe springs out.
FYI all convertibles run 114.2 lb/in-20.0 N/mm in the front and 122.8 ib/in-21 N/mm in the rear.
