Default FMS C springs vs. FMS B springs

Anyone have a comparitive between the two. The cut sheet shows only the front spirng rate is increased on the C springs. It will be mostly street driven. Has anyone had experience with both of these?

My last car was an 86 SVO with Eibach-Pro springs and Koni's, strut tower brace and subframes. Current ride is a 1992 5.0L GT, and I am trying to get it to handle more like the SVO. One ad describes the B springs as comparable to the Eibach pro's ???

The GT came to me already equipped with Strange Engineering adjustable shocks and struts, I am considering the C springs due to increased weight of the V8 over the SVO.

Any opinions, takers >??


thanks in advance

The C's are more performance oriented, so you need some pretty good struts in the front to handle the extra stiffness. Koni, Bilstein, Tokico.

B's are definately comparable to the Eibachs, but they dont lower the car as much.

I have the C Springs and they are great. Although my wife said she would not ride in it when she was pregant It's def. stiff and on the SN95 models they really level out the uneven front/rear differences in height.
