Ford Racing "P" Springs & Tokico D-Specs installed

[MikuhlBrian]

This weekend I dropped the car. Installed a set of Ford Racing "P" springs and Tokico D-spec adjustable shocks/struts on the car (both ordered from American Muscle). After a lot of looking at pics of different spring combos, I decided to go with the "P" springs because it is an even drop all around (I do like the slightly raked look of the Mustang), and it's not a radical drop. This is my daily driver with 94K miles on it, and it will continue to be my daily driver.

The springs are rated at a 1" drop front and rear. Right now, they have dropped the car about 3/4". When i installed lowering springs on my previous Stang, it took about a week to completely settle out for the final drop.

The D-specs have an adjustment range of 7.5 turns from full soft to full firm. The recommended for normal street use was 5 turns from full firm. For right now, that's where I'm running them. I'm pretty happy with the way the car feels/handles over crappy California roads. I will play around with the adjustments over the next couple of weeks to see if I can firm it up some more without being too punishing.

And now on to the pics. They are crappy iPhone pics, will post up some better ones after I get the car out for another shoot.

Here's a before pic for comparison (only pic I have with the new wheels and factory suspension)

Nice man. I'm doing this tomorrow. I also went with the P springs, for the same reasons you did, except my car isn't a DD. I like the slight rake, and I didn't want to go super low. The P springs should have been on these cars from the factory.

Agreed. The minimized wheel gap is much better looking than factory. Practically matches the 135 and 335 that a couple of my friends have, and those are stock.

If you trim the rear bump stop a little, it will ride a lot better. Looks good

Doubt he would hit the bumpstops on the "P" springs. If so I'm curious as to when the new Dukes of Hazard movie comes out and why they changed the car to a white vert S197.

By the way car looks good. I liked the "P" springs except the rear sat too high for my taste and would never really settle more than 3/4" on my 11 Brembo car.
