got the front end on yesterday ,took it for a test drive and to my relief nothing fell off. New uppers, lowers,620 1"drop springs,idler,tie rods,edelbrock shocks,strut bushings, and 1"swaybar. Car feels great not too stiff , sits level front to rear , I was hoping for a little more drop but I'm just happy its not higher than before , maybe I need more wheel and tire. Will it settle any? I did wait and tighten lowers and swaybar with the wheels on the ground.

It will settle some, probably not more than 0.5 or 0.75 though, and that will take some lime.

everything came from mustangs plus, I live in same town as the store so they were an easy choice. Everything fit fine exept for the edelbrock shocks, small clearance problem at upper shock mount on 67 coupe

Correction:

That will take some TIME, do not put lime on your car, it is corrosive
