Most who use the C (5300 C) springs cut the rears to make car sit level.

so ralph, the c springs will give a good rake look? How much will they lower the front?

I doubt they'd lower our cars much, if at all. They may be a bit stiffer up front though.

they do, especially the front, and especially if you don't use isolators... mine was so low that i couldn't go over any speed bumps or go into any driveway without scraping. I ended up going coilovers to level the car out. in the back, it sat higher than stock, so i cut half a coil off the stock springs and put them back in. I think i may have to cut another half or coilover the back too... sits a lil' high for my taste.

The C springs are Ford springs left over from a long ago era, for different cars. I wouldn't use them on our cars.
