Strange. I've seen a lot a cars with the B springs installed, none of them had that uneven stance in the top photo.

As I recall, B springs were OE on the '85-'93 5.0 cars?

I suspect the low front is due to the SVO front control arms being different from the standard Fox?

Biggest change from the 1st picture is the rear ride height. Front looks like it didn't change very much. Same amount of gas in the tank for both pictures?

I love my C springs. Mine stands about the same in your pic. I sold allot of B springs to people who were scared to try the stiffer spring. My only issue is speed bumps and my 3" exhaust. I have 4.75" of ground clearance at the lowest point. I should have done a better job tucking it up. :fasttruck:

Thanks Mike!

The springs lowered the car ~1/2-3/4" and its firm but not harsh. Great springs for a cruiser.

Due to Carlisle lumping ALL four & six cylinder, stock & modified together I always register it as my 1984 SVO convertible so I can park with my friends.:cool:
It does have quite a few SVO parts on it! I just write "display only, do not vote" on my reg card.;)
I got tired of parking with a bunch of supercharged six cyl SN95s with scissor doors and $10,000 paint jobs...:(

One thing I guess I should have said earlier is the B Spring picture was taken a day after the fresh install. The C Spring picture was taken after probably 15 years of being on the car. So the B Springs didn't have a chance to settle in yet.
