    Any Mustang supply house. National Parts Depot, California Mustang, Mustangs Unlimited, etc. Any vintage Mustang Magazine has dozens of advertisers.

    OH, So they are the same!! That's what I thought. So I could get the 620lb. lowered coils for Mustangs and they will work?

    That's what I am told. I am going to try it next spring(no pun).

    Some of the people here have 620lb springs already, which I think are Mustang springs.

    I remember looking in a parts interchange a while bcak and they interchanged too.

    Well good luck with the springs. Do you know how much they will lower the ride? and what does the 620lbs denote, the ride quality or the amount of travel or what? Anyway I'd love to see a pic of the car once the new springs are on it.

    Thanks,

    Jonathan

    Well they say they will lower it 1". But we'll see. The 620lb is the spring rating. I had a set on my '67 Mustang with KYB's and the ride was pretty firm. It was a great handling car. I had front and rear sway bars and about 370HP.

    Those springs I got on e-bay were coming from Mustangs Plus. They sent me the money back saying that they will not fit my '73 Maverick. Shows what they know. The exact springs that came on my car came on a '67 Mustang and every year Mustang up to '73. I'm going to cut my originals for now.
