Can you use the stock suspension off the GT to lower the Lx?

[ExtrmZ]

no! the weight difference will actually make the car sit the same height if you get the lowering springs for a 5.0.. Eibach makes some lowering springs for the 2.3, check them out

[ppcmcmiles]

Thank you ExtrmZ I will. Do you know what they cost?

[mustangpro]

My lowering plan consists of cutting coils off the stock springs. I'm really not after performance handling, just wanting it to sit a little lower.

That won't be performance friendly will it?

Well, how "performance" is a 4 cyl vert??? Not very. If I don't like it, stock 4 cyl springs are everywhere, so I can always switch back.

[ppcmcmiles]

True, but you can build a 2.3 for performance.

Building my 2.3 for MPG. Look at my sig.... I don't need 2.3 power.

This is the cheapest I've seen them:
Unlimited Performance Racing Products On-Line - UPR Pro Kit Mustang Lowering Springs by Eibach 79-04 4cyl. & V6

I got mine here a while ago, but I still haven't installed them.
79-04 PRO-KIT SPRING SET, MUSTANG MUSTANG

yeah both of those last links are the ones i was talking about.. 2.3s can be built for handling, that is the plan with mine when i get some money... but yeah, maybe not power but handling is possible

[Slumlord]

Power is most definitely possible. People have not been using this motor for dirt track racing for the past 20 years because of fuel milage.
