Help: lowering a MercuryComet/Falcon

I wanna lower my girls 63 comet and need some blocks,3" or 4" would be nice? anybody done this on a car like this before help!

 

I've had luck using kit designed for S10,available in different drops from several companys(Eibach,suspension tecnics,Summit also I think).To my knowledge taking a coil out front would be easiest,consider drilling new/lower mounting holes for upper control arms like Shelby did on mustangs to help camber/handing?For what it's worth!****g'n

 

If you use a block kit, you need to have u-bolts made as the ones in the kit are too big for the axles and plates. Any spring shop can do this for you. And cutting coils in the front, do it with moderation. Ramember, you can always cut more, but you cant put any back on.

I dropped my Falcon, Lulabelle, 2 coils in the front, 3in blocks with only the main spring, the other longest, and the over load in. Heres a pic.

 

has anybody found any u-bolts that can be bought anywhere,any idea the width they they need to be for the axle?arethe u bolts the round or square style?help

 

Mac springs in Highland, CA did mine, but I tool them a bolt and had them lengthen it, but if you have the deminsions they could probably get it done for you.

 

Locally, might want to try Doraville Drive Lines & Springs. Last # I had for them was 770-441-2501.

 

I used 6 inches(2-3 in ones) worth of block and took three leaves out of it...and took the coils right out for mock up..and it just started to look right haha...


MOCK UP ONLY- I KNOW ITS NOT SAFE OR THE CORRECT WAY TO DO IT...61 comet
