I dropped mine 2" a few weeks ago. Looks a bit better.
Does that C4 bolt right up to the 200? what mods do you have to do for that C4? Different transmission mount and shorten driveshaft?
I am considering the same for my straight six. I tried a 17" glasspack on stock exhaust (at the rear) and stock manifold and it sounded horrible....
Where do you find those window sun shades? I dont even know if that is what they're called, but id like to find a set.
With 14s you should be able to go to disc brakes i believe. Are you going stock steel rims or something fancier schmancier?
Heres my 60. Just put new springs and blocks in, dropping it 2".
Gasser :-D I think the 4-doors disqualifies me
Dont think photo attached to last post...
Ok 2" blocks are in. The front has settled down into the springs a bit too. Im happy with the drop thus far. Problem now is, im starting to...
Ok springs are in as well as the old shocks. It is definitely lower by about 1"-1.5". I take it they should eventually settle lower? I hope...
Very sweet project! I was looking at a sprite on craigslist a while back and thought it would be perfect to try dropping a 215 in.
Cool. Thanks. I put the old ones back in. If they blow out then ill go from there.
Akreone, did you need to go to a different type of shock with those springs? I am using 2" drop springs and am trying to figure out if I need...
Lowering my 60 comet with new 2" lowering springs. Do I need a shorter/different type of shock to accommodate this? Trying to put the old one...
So what is the latest update on your 63? I'd like to see how it has come along.
Very nice. Haven't seen one with 4" drop, but are those 15" wheels?
Ok nice. I just found this thread. I ordered 2" drop springs for my 60 comet and thought I'd see if anyone had done the same on here. I see now...
I'd love to see pics of what you fab'd up.
Clean truck! I like the rear end. I hope to see it there! I'll be bringing my 60 Comet to VTF :D
Heh... Ive not sat on the plastic covers. I haven't felt the suffering. Yea the upholstery on these seats are vinyl but with raised, textured,...
Yea I found that wedging a piece of wood up in that area works well for taking off the spindle.
Yea that would be cool to see on a map what clubs are around. Maybe someone internet savvy could construct a map with each clubs logo.
Matt, that makes sense now. It prevents lateral movement of the A-arm. I initially thought the rods were to assist the stabilizer rod in hard...
Well thanks for all the info guys. The shop re-threaded the rods and did the alignment no problem. Before, it had bad bump steer. Now it...
I realize that. I have new bushings.
the car did have some pull when it went over uneven road surfaces and the strut bushings are shot so that must have been part of the reason. I...
This is why I asked the question! I havent driven the car with out them. thanks for all the advice, i will just get the threats recut. some...
How important are strut rods for normal driving? Interstate and local driving. Cant find replacements (the threads on mine are stripped) so im...
Its interesting that they tried hot rodding these Thrift-Six's even though the head and intake were cast one piece. I read about a dual carb kit...
Here is my 60... [IMG] [IMG] [IMG][IMG] This comet was originally owned by the guy whose company sold FoMoCo the rights to use the name Comet...
