Ok big picture is years ago before I replaced the front springs on my Mach 1 it sagged alot. 30 YO springs and stuff front and rear. So around 2004 or so I replaced front and rear springs and wasn't impressed with how the car set initially. I figured give them some time they would settle in and look good.
Unfortunately no, 9 years later I still don't like how high the front end sets and missed the height on saggy springs. I don't miss the old springs. The car drives and rides alot better with the new stuff.
Brings me here where I am looking at some lowering springs. My issue is I plan to install aluminum heads and intake here shortly. I know that will be a reasonable amount of weight loss and it will affect new springs being installed. I was looking at the opentracker 1" 560 springs. but wonder if they will be to much after weight loss up front. Suggestions or someone who has been this route.
Car is a:
1971 Mach 1
302 Engine
