    Sorry to post again, but i'm getting really close to putting the new springs in and new front tires/alignment, etc., and ...well, you guys talked me into some aftermarket springs. Can anyone tell me where to get them, which ones to get (model #'s), etc.? Thanks.

    Any Mustang supply house will have the beefier 600lb springs. Most in the $75 dollar range, Eibachs in the $115 range.

    National Parts Depot, Mustangs Unlimited, etc etc

    custom front springs

    I got this company from somewhere, and I emailed them for a quote, I was quoted $128 for the front pair, but that was "matched" to my specifications. Thought it worth a try...

    What year V8 Mustang coil springs are interchangable with V8 Mavericks? Do other factors need to be accounted for like AC or no AC?

    Also, how about the perches, are they the same as well?

    Thanks,

    Spring perches are the same for a 1972 Mustang I know.

    Maverick springs are readily available from numerous vendors...no need to guess by buying Mustang springs. Espo Springs, Detroit springs, and others.
