Thank you for the detailed video and not just saying “now repeat on the other side” or put it back in the reverse order”. Some of us have decent mechanical knowledge but have never done this particular thing before and with most people’s level of OCD these days, all the details are appreciated
Done mine today,SR springs, rear shocks, end links. All from AM. Took 4 hours (10am-2pm) with 1 floor jack and no spring compressor. Decent time i guess.
Instead of letting the brake line stress while the control arm is sagging when taking off and putting in the front springs, you can just disconnect the caliper brackets and zip tie it somewhere up high to keep it out of the way
Had to laugh at the front spring removal after all the bolts were removed. Prying on the spring with all the tension on the brake line you can see it tugging/stressing the brake line as he pries on it. Real good way cause yourself more issues. You never let the A arm assy. hang with the brake line holding it up like that.
This needs to be up more. I'm glad I read this, I'm about to change the isolators and my shocks and now I know to put a jack stand under the rotor, or unmount it to protect it and keep the brake line from unneeded stress. Fuck, I probably would have let it hang like this dude without reading this.
I think I would of unbolted the caliper and moved it out of the way. That brake line looked pretty stretched out when you were prying down in the A Arm down. You kept saying the age of the car. Just saying………
Can I cut these springs? Installed these exaxt springs on my 89 coupe and it sits like a monster truck. Literally can fit my head in the rear wheel well. Granted my car is little lighter but still seems excessive.
Sounds like the coils are seated at different angles. One could be sideways and the other could be correct. I believe that's the problem if the height is truly that drastically different
They will technically fit, but technically your convertible weighs more than coupe Mustangs. That means when installing these springs you will get slightly more drop than advertised, and the handling may be different than designed. I would recommend looking for a set of springs specific for your convertible if possible. -Zach
@@AutoMotivate First minute of the video of " SR Performance Linear LOWERING Springs" he actually said "If you like the look of the 1.5 inch drop these SR springs have"... After is definitely higher in the front in the comparison pics. Also looks like the tire was inflated more in the after pic. At 9:30 he shows the springs he removed and says "1.5 inch drop all 4 corners". Aftermarket B.S.

Are the SR springs linear for the 2015+ Mustangs? I'm not a big fan of progressive springs.

Best video out there explaining progressive versus linear springs!
As well, best instalation video made so far.
Thanks for the love, Carlos! We appreciate it! -Zach
Crazy American cars with the multitudes of different size wrenches, sockets. Lowering my 2001 Integra , all I need was 3 size of wrenches and sockets.

I was laughing at hitting the bolts with a freaking Hammer to get them out his kids never heard of a rubber mallet or a soft blow hammer
I am very surprised this doesn't have more views
Thanks for making this detailed video AM
I dont like the fact that he dident remove the brake caliper.. He put a allot of stress on that brake line 😞
Why do the before and after pics look the exact same? Do the springs need time to compress into their final state?
I would be pissed after all this work and no difference. The front end even looks like it got higher lmao
@@gawddangthatsmoist2251 this what i was looking at, like are these springs even worth buying? minus well go Coilovers
I think the insulators add height
Don’t forget safety glasses 🥽 😂
Thanks for the video! Would you recommend changing the spring insulators?
Edit: Nevermind you got it covered 😄
Glad to hear we didn't leave you hanging with any questions! Haha thank you for watching! -Zach

They make it look like springs install them self but not that easy the fronts can hurt you coming out.
As long as you pay attention to what you are doing you should be fine.
No need for caster/camber plates after lowering?
Can I cut these springs? Installed these exaxt springs on my 89 coupe and it sits like a monster truck. Literally can fit my head in the rear wheel well. Granted my car is little lighter but still seems excessive.
I just did front sides but one side is lower than the other one, what I could get wrong?
Thank you

No torque specs?
The spring isolators are the worst, the one I "cut" is fighting back and not staying on the spring :(
what if the rear springs ends face opposite ways ?
Will these work on my 2000 gt convertible ?
Yes

The stock springs are linear not progressive ?
did B SPRINGS i should have cut half a ring
So I wouldn’t need aftermarket shock absorbers?
We definitely recommend them! -Zach
All that work , and it still looks stock ride height . 🤣🤣🤔
All that work on the comment and fail to realize the springs will settle and wear in over a few hundred miles🤣🤣🤫
Damn those springs are almost universal lol
Well those front spring isolators aren't, look at he's putting it into place, so many breaks in it
Yeah. No idea what a "rust bucket" really is. But ok video.
Хоть болты бы помазал! Варвар :D
LOL the before and after pics... take a torch to the front. It now actually sits even higher than stock. What is this garbage?
Mason Family it’s a performance upgrade. And it did lower a bit. Not enough to be very noticeable, though

Mason Family I see your point now. I agree. I missed that. Nevertheless, this is a good demonstration on replacing the springs
So much rust talk lol
Let's wear work gloves, but no safety glasses! Especially when using spray chemicals.
Nobody really wears those foggy, scratched up safety glasses anyway! Its not like OSHA will be looking for him.
I’m sure he is smart enough not to be underneath a pile of rust 🤦♂️
I bet you wear a mask while driving too huh.
