I am looking to get new springs for my SVO. I want stock height and there are not a lot of choices. I went to Jegs and Summit all lowering springs. Does lowering the car hurt the ride. Any input would be great, thanks

Most lowering springs are fixed or progressive rate, either way, they usually harshen the ride a little more that stock. I remember seeing an article in Mustang Monthly, which I can't find right now, about a company who makes stock replacement springs to original specs. I would suggest dropping MM a line and asking who the company was.

Need to make sure you get the correct "spring rates" also if your looking to maintain stock.

Normal Ride Height Rates- Front 425#-in Rear 200#-in
