Ok guys I've got an 86 GT and I've had it for a few months now. My problem is that it was lowered before I got it and the car has caster camber plates and Ford Racing springs but the whole driver's side is about 1/2"-1" lower then the passenger side. Not quite sure how to fix it cause everything is the same on both sides.

How's the struts? Is one of them blown?

Go to the Driver's side and push on the fender trying to bounce it. Does it bounce? Then try it on the passenger side

If it doesn't bounce the strut maybe locked up or blown.

Common issue that is tough to try and correct. It could be something like a worn out isolator that has compressed more than the others, or it could be that when the previous owner installed them, he didn't correctl orient the pigtails on the springs correctly and one is sitting higher than the rest.

Of course, checking and correcting this is a bit of a PITA. The rear springs are probably easier to check and adjust than the front.
