Performance coil springs??
OK, My front end POLYURETHANE bushings on on there way. It looks like everyone on this forum was correct. My 1982 LTD Country Squire uses the 1992-1997 Crown Victoria bushing set. I told the sales people ay energy suspension that after they advised me that they did not have an application for my car. They did some research and they were surprised to see that they were wrong. ANYWAY, while i have my car up in the air and the lower control arms off, are high performance coil springs available for my car??? If so, where?? And, are they even worth it????

.... and you can't get headers to fit a Vic. Pffft! :pOriginally posted by mrltd View Post
Seriously, mrltd and several others run Super Stock racing springs intended for Chevy racecars; evidently if you get the right size they fit Panthers just great, and they're available in a variety of rates and heights.2012 Mazda5 Touring | Finally working on the LTD again!
