After a bit of research it is obvious where the flaw in these springs are. The Front Springs are a very stiff linear 650 rate. The rears however are lighter than stock! They are rated at 200-250 Progressive! The problem is now weight transfer. Because the front is so stiff (Compared to the rear), on a bump or wave the rear springs will take the transfer and the front will basically stay put. Forget about drag racing! The eibach Pro Kit has slightly stiffer rears but the fronts are a much lower rate Both Progressive Front425-530 Rear200-300. This allows the front of the vehicle to take some of the transfer distributing the weight evenly. On a Fox body the problem wouldnt be as obvious due to the lighter rear end but on a 99+ it would be terrible. The only way to overcome this would to overdampen the rear to compensate but ride quality would suck.

When ever a spring fits "79-04" I believe it will be a comprimise on some of the years. How can one springs work on so many different body styles/weights? Then there are Manafacturers like H&R "79-93" then "94-95" then lastly "96-04". They have their shat together. My Supersports were great! Just too low and stiff for drag racing. I may go with the H&R Sports (for a "96-04!LOL). Then again...I did have a Pro-Kit in the Cobra before and it was fine, may just go back to them.

They can't and in this case they don't. I would have expected this kinda nonsense from a fly by nighter on ebay not a company with a rep like Steeda.
Gonna put this one down to ya gotta live and learn.

[QUOTE=ZR 5.0] Same here :tup I am glad i started this topic, it's nice to see that i am not the only one with bad luck. :LOL:

Just to clear something up. Steeda.ca is a Canadian Distributor of Steeda Products. They have no influence on design and can only do so much without headquarters co-operation. Don't let you dis-satisfaction of a certain Steeda product reflect upon Steeda.ca

Steeda in the US or wherever the hell you bought these has to take them back if you're this unhappy with them. I drove 2002GT with those springs and that car drove and handled great. Call this place and telling them your either exchanging them for a different kit or for replacements.

The point is...Your unhappy with those springs, and as the customer, they need to resolve the situation.

GREAT IDEA EXCEPT............Steeda.ca won't even return my emails / PM's.

UPDATE..............I've flat out given up getting any sort of reasonable response from Steeda, I'll be picking up a Pro Kit tomorrow (will post driving impressions on Fri or Sat) and will be cutting the old springs up / tossin em in the garbage. Had put em up for sale but in good conscience can't bring myself to stick someone else with them.

I understand your frustrations. Why not try going straight to steeda.com? Tell them that your unhappy with the product and that the store you bought them from wont exchange them or refund the money. Be nice and explain it all out. Might be worth a shot. Worst case you get told to pound sand and you get the pro-kit like you planned.

Unless you've tried this and i'll shut up lol

Great thought...............thanks.
