Just curious if anyone was running Maier Racing Springs. How dose your car sit? How Dose it Ride? Pictures would be grate also if anyone is running them. Im running a Eibach Pro Kit and im not to Happy with it and was thinking about going with Maier Springs.

I wouldn't hesitate to run any suspension or chassis pieces from Maier. Mike definitely knows his shit when it comes to Mustang suspensions.

Keeping it local with a true blue business that's been around for 35yrs or so doesn't hurt either. [patriot]

What year is your car? From my understanding Maier only has springs for old school mustangs. I think if you're looking for late model parts, he sets you up with the "right" stuff from maximum motorpsorts...but i dont think he actually carries his own branded late model parts. But he definitely knows his shit, so ask him to set you up with the "right" springs when your ready.

Maier make spring for 79-04 and even S197 they go for around $200 for the whole set. An old coworker had some of these in his s197 he loved them.

I use to work at Maier and I also run Maier springs on my 88 GT, when I had 18" rims I use Eibach Pro Kit springs in the front and Maier rear springs for a better ride, now I run 17" rims I have Maier springs front and back, love the ride with Bilstein struts and shocks.

Maier has springs for late Mustangs as well as early cars. He put a set of drop springs in my SVO way back in the day and the ride height and ride were great. I got a different front pair later on when I switched to a 351w,(even though the set for the SVO would have worked) and had to cut a bit off of them to get the ride height as low as I wanted.

Maier has great stuff and I have been a loyal customer to Mike and the family since 1998. I have never been disappointed.
