I have a set of stock 98 mustang Gt front springs that I want to use in a custom application. I just need to know what the stock # rating is.

I want to say it should be around 460 lb/in.

Thanks - I want to cut a coil off and use them on my Mustang II front end in my 390 FE 65 falcon. They fit perfectly diameter wise but are just a little long. hard to find that # info online but looks like you are about right. The stock V8 M2 springs are around 350 lbs which apparently is a little soggy for an FE car.

If you need something stiffer and shorter, Mach 1 springs are 650 lb/in and are a 3/4" drop on SN95 cars. Not sure if that's too stiff/short but those springs are fairly easy to find.
