    Lowering my 69

    Alright,shocks are done all round. The ride is a LOT smoother and soaks up the road surface better,but it still bottoms out on the rear. My leafs are on back order,so I wont get them til next week,but they definitely need doing. I can rent a coil spring compression tool for free from my local...

    Lowering my 69

    Yeah I think I get what you mean. Instead of spending out for new coils and cutting them,just cut the ones I have now to make it a bit stiffer. I think what I'll do first is get the KYB Gas-a-Just shocks all round,see how that goes,and then decide if I need to cut the front coils down and...

    69 Upper Ball Joints

    Noticed today that my left upper BJ rubber boot has fallen apart,(see pic) so I'm assuming that I should replace the whole ball joint, right? (probably can't buy boot seperately) It is a 3 bolt pattern on that side,which I thought was weird because on the right side,the pattern is 4 bolts,(2 on...

    Lowering my 69

    Thanks for the replies. I just checked the rear shocks,and they are Monroe #31069's.Cheap. And the ones on the front don't even have a name on them.!! So I think anything will be an improvement on those,so how about this combination.: 5 leaf mid or reverse eye springs Grab-A-Trak 750 Front Coil...

    Lowering my 69

    Like these? http://www.mustangsplus.com/xcart/product.php?productid=1030&cat=2128&page=1 Although it does say that they are very stiff which is uncomfortable for most normal street driving applications. And I'm not sure exactly what you mean about the Shelby mod,what does that entail?

    Yeah,having the front higher makes it look like the hood goes all the way to the horizon,LOL. I want to be at least able to see some of the tarmac in front of me :D

    Thanks, Yeah I just made another post specifically about the ride height etc. I took some pics from the side on level ground,and you can see the difference between the front and rear. It's something i HAVE to change cos it aint right !!

    Lowering my 69

    I would like to lower the front and stiffen up the rear of my 69FB. I want to make it at least level,or maybe have ther rear slightly higher than the front,and stiffen up the rear because every time I go over a bump or dip,the rear end comes down with a thud,its way too soft,and makes me cringe...

    yeah the little things never seem to end. My engine needs a rebuild for one. Then I want new intake and carb. I also want rack & pinion steering,I want the rear suspension stiffened up (its waaaaay too bouncy and hits its limit with a thud when i go over bumps or dips) and I want the front end...
