Its an 89 notchback 2.3. So how would it ride? Iam basically going to convert the car over to a v8 later down the road but I want to get all the suspension and brakes out of the way.I don't want to do it all twice. The car is in great shape that's why I bought it. And I know it hasn't been beat on lol. I missed my old coupe after I sold it so I want to start fresh. Any info would be great. Thanks Kyle

swap all the v8 suspension over EXCEPT the springs use the 4 banger springs then change the springs when you put the 5.0 in

Maybe I should get drunk off my HATERADE elsewhere?
I was slow to take the hint, so I'm taking a break from CAFords for the rest of the month. Now excuse me while I enjoy some cereal. Mmmmm Mmmmm good. Who else wants to join me?

That's what I was thinking but I have an eibach pro kit from my old car I wanted to use along with edlebrock shocks and struts. Would it just not sit or ride right with the 4 cylender in it? If it rides a little hard iam ok with that. Lol

the spring rate is different for the 4 banger and v8 springs it would ride different and probably sit high in the front
