Lowering a 62 Mercury Monterey

I purchased a 62 Mercury Monterey s-55 2 door H/T . I want to lower it .3' blocks in the rear and heat the coils . Has anyone lowered a 62 Merc. like this and was there any problems with heating the coils . Or any other problems that might pop up ?

Thanks

Just cut the coils and save yourself the headache of your springs sagging over time and possibly cracking. Nice car, by the way.

 

I cut a coil out of my front springs on my 62 Merc. Looks like you are missing some trim parts.

 

I never heat um man. Cut the *******s

 

Just lowered my 62 Merc. I cut 1 1/2 coils in front and 3" blocks in back car sits level and rides great .

 

post some pic's. its still on my project list for my 62 merc. could use some motivation.

 

You don't heat coils. You cut them.

 

I'm not sure what your money situation is but, jamco has front spring for this car. If it were me, I'd spend the $100-200 for new 3" dropped springs. I think the ride in the long run would be better than 50 year old springs that were cut down.
