   The Mustang Coil springs have to be cut! It was never said they were a 
direct drop in item. "In the Tech Guide" it says to cut 1 1/2-2 coils. I cut 
1 coil and am very happy. The new springs will ride softer which the 
originals never will. All the original springs will do is get stiffer the 
more you cut them.
