And the comet is sitting? bummer, whats not legal about your "mobile bbq"??? and customfalcon63 glad you found your answer, better tell dad to start writing that check so you can start putting around town in the falcon!
As long as you are low, with a good ride and safe that is all that matters, remember image is everything!!! We do thank you for the chance to assist you with your lowering needs, and I think in the long run, you will love the stance and the ride!!!
I have a question on the angle block if thats cool. how do you know if you should get a 2" or 4" block and which way does the angle fit on install? Show us your car when your done.
Dont need to do all that just try the shelby thing 1st on the front and then take a look at it. If you dont like that idea just put a torch on the front coils toward the end s and it will lower right before your eyes, no need to cut any thing. As for the rear wait until you are happy with the front 1st, mild lowering blocks will work OK. Later model spindle will work easy for the disc brake stuff. Save your father daughter relationship, it is only a car and can be redone any time. Have fun whatever.
heating the coils changes the temper and can allow them to crack over time, plus the springs can sag over time and drop the car well below the wanted ride height. cutting is best, usually the rule of thumb is 1 coil = about 2 inches, start with one coil then check ride height.
I would not go more then 3" angled blocks on rear it puts too much strain on leaf and angles rear end too much .They slant forward thick in rear narrow in front.3" work good and and ride is still very good .
