Anyone know anything about how they compare to those on a Mustang?
Reason being I have an '66 t-bird sport that I am about to haul over the scales, and I am seeing what I can use off of it. I'm already taking the rack, but the spings I read on coolcats.net were the same used in the turbo coupe(Heavy Duty), and I was wondering if they would be any diffrent (& how so) to those on my 82GT?

I take it you mean an 86 Tbird Sport?

The springs will make your Mustang sit too high. They are longer and the rears have a MUCH higher load rating.

I would guess this to be true, '66 T-birds used leaf springs in their rear suspension.
