Drop spindles for 1956 ford fairlane

Does anyone make more then a twp inch drop spindle for a 1956 ford fairlane??

 

Ford Granada/Mercury Monarch spindle's do work. You have to have the top hole retapered. There's a guy who advertises in Rod & Custom called DC Enterprises that does the conversions, www.dropnstop.com

Yeah but see i need atleast a 3 inch drop.

 

Take a look at Fat Man Fabrications. I think they list thier spindles as a three inch drop. You have to convert to disc brakes too, I think thier setup is Granada based.

 

I will have to check it?

 

I will have to check it

 

I went to www.fatmanfabrications.com the website doesnt work.

 

Its the bottom hole that actually needs reamed out. And on my 56 I did the granada spindles and a 1 inch lowering blocks under the spring plate on the lower control arms. There might be a pic in the album on my info page.

Swapping to '89 Ford Aerostar 2WD front coils $60 a pair at Autozone will give you a 2 1/2"-3" drop and improve the ride and handling and you keep your stock spindles.There are before and after pics in the HAMB archives and the 52-56 Ford social group.

 

my bud got alot of stuff from dropnstop. they are good quality parts

 

I will look into this also, Maybe then I could ditch my lowering plates. Thanks for the heads up

x2 on what JeffB2 said, we just put a set of aerostar coils in my buddies Edsel (same ch***is) and man what a difference! The car looks AND rides better, how do you beat that for $60? Sorry I should have mentioned them sooner!

 

How much of a drop did you get with the areostar springs when they got put in that Edsel.

 

I created a login account right after reading this thread. I'm going to buy the springs this week and should have them on by the weekend.

 

Do the same Aerostar springs work on the 49-51 fords?

 

Well I ended up bagging my car and it lays frame so I wont need the drop spindles or coils at all.
