Re: [ASC McLaren ] Re: ebay: Springs and bushings

I don't envision it happening before spring, but I
have the Motorsport springs in question on my '96
Cobra. When I start getting into the suspension on my
'85 Coupe I can take some measurements and determine
if they are the same spring.

As for bushings, it seems we've come to focus only on
the rear upper control arms. Is there any possibility
that front control arm bushings were changed?

Due to the way the stock suspsension was designed to
work I would be extremely surprised if the rear lower
control arm bushings were changed. Stiffer bushings
here generally hurt performance.

In part I think it's important to know who made the
changes. If they were made at Dearborn I'm sure they
must be Ford parts, if ASC did it, they could
potentially be anything.
