If you are swapping to the 5.0 engine I would get rid of all of the 4 banger crap. I would try to find some stock V8 springs or use the stiffer vert springs for the reaar. Good choice on the rear control arms. You will be happy with those.

If you do not have the 5lug axles yet, I just pulled out my FRPP 28 spline axles with 3" Moroso studs pressed in. I'm selling them for $175 + shipping. They cost $399 from summit. I've had them in for about 5K miles.lmk,

i have a set of v8 springs from the convert 5.0. but i heard that 4cy springs will lower teh front.

plan on track use for teh car, soo it would be better to run the front and rear v8 springs?
