    spring spacer to level sagging fox's

    anyone used one of these? i heard a lot about them on MW and corral. my GT sits a little lower on the driver side rear and i heard this is common. a company (i forget who and where) makes 3 different size spacers depending on your sag. $30 each.

    i was going to order one when i get home....but thought id ask if anyone else has dealt with this.

    I was just noticing mine looks the same way. Guess it's just "Ready to Launch!" and transfer the weight to the right rear. :D

    found it. Global West

    Rear spring perch spacers for leveling your cars ride height.
    You may have noticed some Mustangs from 1979-93 have a
    lower ride height on the divers side rear. Not to worry, we have
    a simple fix. We use a special rear coil spring spacer machined out of
    billet. This will not change anything but the ride height. The
    spring spacer goes under the coil spring and indexes on the control
    arm. The spacer will also re-index the coil spring.
    Spacers will also fit 1994-05 models.

    We make 3 different height spacers.
    Part# 1100 = 5/8 inch change
    Part# 1101 = 3/4 inch change
    Part# 1102 = 7/8 inch change
    (Only one spacer needed per car) Price 28.59
    ea.

    You may want to put you new springs on 1st before ordering anything. The rear's are easy enough to get back out if you have to add one.

    My car sat even when I had the lowering springs on it.

    Well, you would 1st have to see how much of a spacer you would need before you ordered it anyways.

    But that's with the "Stock" springs. You have NO IDEA what the difference, if any with the new springs will be!

    Probably missing the isolators or they are dry rotted and broke. You can buy a polyurethance isolator kit from summit cheap, will be enought to do both springs.

    i had planned on leaving the isolators out...and wrapping top/bottom of springs with electrical tape...gets a little lower ride and still no noise since the tape is there.


    did it to a couple of my cars before.
