Default FRPP C Springs

How much do these springs actually lower a 5.0 hatch, and do they actually lower the front more than the back? I just got some brand new ones for cheap and I just want to know if I should get those polyeurethane isolators up front so the right height is even.

C springs will give your car a 1/2" raked look. I had them on my 93, check it out in the member gallery.

So the front end will sit down 1/2" more than the rear?

Anyone else have pics of cars with C's?

I think FRPP says 1 1/4" front & 3/4" rear. I've got the "b" kit on my '90LX with Eibach sway bars (36mmF/24mmR) & Koni reds, rides pretty stiff but I still need to adjust the shocks. On most curves I can double the speed limit.

1 1/4" minus 3/4" = 1/2"
