NEED HELP springs question

fastcat1 · 10-01-2006, 06:51 AM

will the springs off a 97 cobra fit a 93 GT ? and if so were can I get the srping compressor tool >I have the one that fits both sides of the spring and I have one like the one that ford sales (autozone) need to know if anybody has one close by that I can use , to put the old springs back on ,since the the other springs looked like the would fly off if I were to hit a bump

They will fit but I would imagine they wont lower the car any. I havent seen any of the rent-a-tool places sell the right compressor for the FOX spring set-up. All I ever use is a big pry bar and floor jack.

when I put the frist one on the spring looked like a bannanna . will the rear fit ?
I am putting the car back to stock later I lower it but the right way , and heat them up like the frist owner did

Yes, the spring will look bent when you are putting it in. Thats how its supposed to look. Im not sure about the rear springs. Try them and see. There really easy to swap out. Just make sure on the front and rear the end of the spring is sitting in the perch right. The pigtail on the spring has a spot in the perch for it.
