Stance looks good. I like my MM coil overs. Mine is very low though.

[SlowSix]

Maybe the dust shield got tweaked and is rubbing the rotor?

That is a good possibility.

The springs will rub on bumps and when turning the steering wheel. Any other noises and I would look at other areas.

Yeah I checked with the car parked and turned the wheels full lock both ways. Didn't notice anything. Hence why I don't think it is the spring.

Thanks. I considered going lower. I may cut another half coil off the rear springs.
I still have probably 15 threads or so on the coilovers to go down, lol

[95V6]

That's what I did. I cut have a coil off the rear H&R SS springs without isos.

I got a set of vert springs from CWH19 so I cut a coil off of them already. I might still cut another half coil though, lol

Looks good. Speed bumps will love you!

I think I have a rear set of H&R lowering springs out in the garage. If your interested I can go look for them. (I don't think I sold them.)

they already do, lol

I love that pic, lol

I wonder what the drop is like on a v6 with those. They list them as 1.6 rear on a GT it looks like. are they for a solid rear?

95v6 you have any pics of your car?

[95V6]

Yeah, I'll post some pics of my car when I get home for ya.

If you need any more I have a few more on my phone. Or want measurements etc.

[SlowSix]

I definitely need more rear low, and another couple threads down on the front, lol.
How does it ride with it being that low ?
From the brief driving I did, the car actually felt pretty good even though I was lower. Bilstein's make a world of difference over stock struts, lol

[Mark Aubele]

Damn, your car is LOW Barry. The roll center is like 2 ft underground... looks good though.

[95V6]

It's not that bad. Just can't get caught day dreaming or you'll rip something off.

[PaxtonShelby]

Makes my '66 look like a 4 x 4 Barry!

[95V6]

Your '66 makes my GT look like a soup kitchen....

Do either of them ever get driven? Hehehe

[PaxtonShelby]

I wish I had a good comeback for that one....

Update time.
So I got the car buttoned up last weekend pretty much.
Figured out the grinding noise coming from my brakes - it was the dust shield being bent and hitting the rotor.


As you can see, still have plenty of room for moar low



just a quick pic of my tubular a-arm



managed to destroy the passenger side ABS sensor.... it was rubbing on the inside of the wheel.



Didn't bend the bracket far enough, this is after I rebent it.



Had a hell of a time getting the car aligned, the first 3 places I took it couldn't get it on their rack.


here is a pretty cool pic from the weekend, Last four generations of mustangs. The grey is 05mineralgray on here, the yellow is cwh19, the grabber blue I don't believe has an account on here.



I also recovered my passenger side Corbeau CR1 seat. Hell of a process. I still have to do the driver's side and it is pretty much ready for Carlisle. I'm going to do a write up on how to cover the seats, as I haven't found one anywhere and corbeau doesn't give you any instructions.

The car settled a bit since I put the coilovers on, it is maybe another .25" lower in the front. Pretty low. Not on barry's level, but I already have enough trouble driving it, lol. It is mostly okay, but there is very little clearance between the ground and my downpipe.

I do need to get the rear a bit lower still though. Car has a pretty decent rake at this point. Ryan did you find those H&R springs?

[95V6]

Looks great. What shop did you end up taking it to?

Since I was trying to get it aligned that day, I ended up taking it to Goodyear on route 30 across from Greensburg Walmart. They had a bunch of boards and got it on the rack.
