got shocks and springs on the GN

[crownvic96]

got the moog 5606 and 5379(i think thats the right numbers) and bilstein shocks on the car. i was going out of town so i had my mechanic do it after reading about the fun of doing the front springs. he told me those fronts were the hardest springs he's done since he can remember, and this guy specializes in high end euro and jap cars lol.

its nice to have a car that sits symmetrical side to side now. and the car rides great with the bilsteins.

Got any pics? Where did you buy them?

they are pretty tough to deal with but at least there is plenty of room to get in there and get the springs in/out. i had the bilsteins on my car and thought they were great. that along wiht undr hood and rear seat braces really made that car handle great, for a big brick.

I did the same thing last year. Huge difference! Springs front and back, (moog), Shocks, (Edelbrock IAS), and Air bags. (10 lbs of air in them) The stance alone makes it worth the while! Here is a before and after shot. The after also has 275/60-15 Nitto 555's on the back. I had BFG Radal T/A's before. 255/70-15

I also did under front braces, under hood, and rear seat at the same time. Was like driving a new car. All the squeaks and rattles all went away!

I found the springs not too bad to do The only issue was finding someone to strap them for me. Harder than cars with struts though.

Thanks! It seems shox.com has the best prices... I'm not familar with rockauto.

The rain has been horrible. 17 inches down here last thrus and Friday, then we got another 7 inches Monday. We've even had mudslides.

yeah, i've been trying to run but thats been to no avail here. i'd need a wet suit and snorkel to run in my neighborhood lol.

i purchased the springs and also one of the spectra replacement fuel tanks from rock auto. i've been happy with them.
