So contacted KYB. The part specified by the part suppler doesn't match the part recommended by KYB. I'm asking for their part recommendation. Here are photos of the car before and after the spring cut.

Hi Don C. Thanks for the great information and reference to the spec manuals. I'll check it out.

I did buy the lifetime alignment when I had the new tires mounted. So I will definitely get that done.

Hahaha. I don't like spending money unnecessarily. It would be nice to have firmer steering. Mine isn't loose but it is feeling less. I'll probably keep it stock. Thanks Stanglover.

Thanks Chuck, I'll check the part number and compare to what the stock travel lengths should be. Since the front is now lower, maybe I shouldn't use the stock specks for the shocks.

We used a cut off wheel.

Hi Stanglover. Thanks for you experience with Scott Drake springs. I'll look into Eaton. I'm very happy with the rear. I'll also check my sway bar/bars for measurement. The power steering doesn't give me that real positive feel in handling. I also have a 69 390 cougar where I increased the...

Hi 72conv. I've seen 1" drop 600lb springs I would prefer 1 1/2" drop if I could find them. If you know a part number I'll check them out. Thank you

Hi Midlife, The car only has 62k miles. It looked like the original stance. The rear didn't look low or too low. I'll post some before and after photos. I wouldn't have thought 1/2 inch would have caused such a drastic change in travel. Thanks for your thoughts.

Thanks for your thoughts on shocks too. Since I've already cut the springs, I'll be making a change to new springs. Any thoughts on stiffer springs with the QA shocks?

I hadn't thought of that. The next time I get it on the rack with my mechanic, we'll check it out. Thanks Hemikiller

Thank for your thoughts Giantpune. I thought the stiffer shocks and the minimal cut would have that much of an effect. It bottoms out so easily I don't thing its all just because of the cut. Since the car only has 61,000 miles on it I didn't think the springs would be worn out. I don't like the...

Hi, My Mustang has a spongy front suspension and had a front high bias. I'd prefer level or slightly rear high bias. So I just lowered the front of my 1973 351 2v convertible. First I cut the height of the sprint by 1/2 inch which was about 1/2 a coil. This lowered the front about 1 inch at the...
