Well today was fun decided to start to lower the stang... few things went wrong... missed unhooking a bushing... the stabilizer bar thing... took for ever to figure out i had to un hook it... lol dumb me... bolts were stuck on pretty good on the caliper... I couldnt get the spring out my self... took alot of work had my grandfather use a pry bar on it and i threaded a rope through it and just yanked it out... this actually works great... i recomend trying it... lol kinda fun... i started to jack up the a-arm and realised that the strut was pushing hard on my fender... it left a small crease like dent that you have to be even with the car to see... it pissed me off though... but it was a learning experience... the next side went smoother... but i guess ill finish it tomorrow... the 2'' drop from the sport lines was more then enough when i saw how low the K brace was... but im actually happy this is one of the first mods i actually put in my self and did a decent job... i might head up to the shop tomorrow as well my h pipe came and im gonna ask if i can use my friends dads lift to throw it on... its gotta come off again to do my clutch... but my friend by school is gonna help me with that... so its easier to put it on and take it back off then try to fit it in the back of my car when i can practly walk it to the shop... i should have pics tomorrow.

I prefer to undo the LCA pivot bolts and do the R/R of the springs that way.

Glad to hear you got it.

EDIT: that's for front springs.
