Thread: mustang II front end

Set the car up with the lower a-frames level with NO springs in the car. Thats your ride height...no maybes or ifs thats it if you want to drive it . Now if the car is too low you need to ditch the 2 drop spindle. Now with stock spindles do the same thing......lower a-frames level thats your ride height period. You only get it 2 ways if your not building it. Now cut springs to keep the lowers level being very careful to make them too long so they can take about and 1 inch set later.
Big dia spring wire will get a heaver rate than a small diam wire so .The bigger dia go up in rate as they get shorter.
Unless you use coil overs or airbags most any spring will have too be cut. Try to do it cold and not with the torch.
Soooooo thats your starting point. After that you measure shock mounts and go shopping for the right lenth shock. But get the ride height correct first. Like i said you only have 2 choices after its built...so go find out were you are. Well you have 3 but i bet you dont like the 3rd....cut the frontend out and start over
