- 1968 Coupe: 393w, TKO-600, Maier Racing springs, Global West suspension, Currie 9in with forged axles, 3.50 gears, Trutrac, Baer brakes front/rear
1973 Mach-1: 351c 4V, C-6, 3.73:1 gears and a long "To Do" list..
I am getting ready to install my new leaf springs from Maier Racing. Unfortunately, they lower the car 1-1 1/2 inches. My car sits level now and due to my long tube headers, I can't lower the front at all..
If I use factory spring shackles and these springs, my rear end gets lowered by at least one inch. I know a lot of people don't like to use them but, how much longer of a shackle would I need to use to make up that additional inch+?
Thanks everyone..
