I am working on aligning my front end and was taking measurements. Last year I replaced the 8" with a Lincoln 9" and added 1" rear lowering blocks and now my front end is 1.5" higher in the front. I just replaced the entire front suspension (everything except spindles) and did the Arning drop (Shelby Drop). I plan to cut the newer stock coil springs 1/4 to 1/2 coil at a time till I get the drop I want. I may do this over the next spring / summer in phases and test drive for a month in between cuts.
I'm running 17/8 bullet wheel with 235/45/17 tires that measure about 24.5" high. I have about 2.5" of clearance on the drivers side (from tire to fender) and about 3" on the passenger at full lock, setting level in my garage.
How much front drop do you have and how much clearance do you have between the fender and tire at full lock? What is a suggested minimum? This is a street car (weekend toy) that I want my wife to be able to drive it without special instructions but I also want a good stance.
Thanks!!!
