Ok you guys may be tired of hearing about front suspension but I need some help too. I put in new upper and lower control arms, maier 600 coil springs (supposed to be 1" lowering), spring perches, and strut rod bushings. After I installed all of these to one side I was suprised to see that the stang was sitting about 2" higher than stock WTF!? I checked the spring hieght on both the new and original springs under the wieght of the car and they are pretty close to the same. I first thought that my strut rod was binding and not letting the lower control arm travel, but after taking it loose that theory fell through. When I jack the car up the left/new wheel leaves the ground first. The spring is properly seated in the perch and at the top. The car has about a 4" gap between the top of the wheel and the fender so it looks abnormal. I left the same amount of shimms on the upper control arm, I don't think that makes a diffrence. I'm stumped, any suggestions? If I can't find ANYTHING wrong I geuss I'll replace the stock springs and see if that makes a diffrencs. BTW, I orderd the upper controll arm from mustangs plus and the lower from mustang depot but the look the same as the ones pictured in the other front suspension thread.
Thanks, Tyler
