Any noticable change in suspension geometry will affect alignment ...

Assuming you have some basic tools around the garage ... cutting the springs should be nearly free of charge ...

I have cut mine before with no ill effects.

Cut the springs (cold cut, no torches) ... drive it ... and see what you got ...

If it feels wrong ... take it in for an alignment ... costs under $50.00 here in Vegas at many places ... not a huge investment if it makes you happier with your car.

Or so it seems to me.

Your ride looks sweet. What type and size are your wheels and tires?
BTW I used NPD's 1" lowering coils and 1" lowering leafs on my car and fom the gound measure 25.5" My tires are only about 24.5" tall on the car.
My car sat kinda lopsided too until I replaced the leafs

Thanks the wheels are Hot Wheels by KMC. 17x9 and 17x8. The tires are Nitto 555s 275 40 17s and 245 45 17s. How was your alignment with the 1" lowering coils?

I added roller spring perches and a new strut rod set up at the same time

Another pic from the other side but with the front springs compressed and new shocks on the front. Will get lowering springs if this works which may be a little lower. Still 2" in the back new shocks not on yet. New shocks are great on the front alot less rattles!

That is still the TINYIEST Mustang I've ever seen...


Is there any way you can go bact to Imageshack, and remove the frame and post a larger photo?

Needs a couple inches of rubber added to the rear tires... Other than that, add a little paint and it'll be worth a fortune!
Looks good in a bigger pic man! [img]/forums/images/smiles/icon_tup.gif[/img]
