Redid the entire steering, suspension and handling on the 65 FB with M-plu sstuff.
5 leaf mid eye, 620 drop 1 1/8 front 3/4 rear..UCA. LCA, perches, etc.
make sure you upgrade to the KYB gas adjust shocks at the min....the stock kyb are very bouncy.
I like the ride, very sporty.
I got the kit, plus the steering kit. It took a couple of weekends to finish the install. I have not driven much but it seems to be very good. The car is stiffer but not harsh and the steering feels a lot better. Make sure you have a big hammer, a ball joint seperator, lots of bolt lube for the strut bushings, and a large breaker bar with a deep well socket. Good Luck.

Me too and I love it! I think the 620lb springs are just fine on the street, but I think my 73 probably weighs alot more than a 60 something. I'd like to go autocross my stang and I will if I can stop the oil leaks. B.T.W. changing a front seal is no fun!

Just called them up said:
"I would like you real big kit there, but I want 620s in the front, 5 leaf mid eyes in the rear and the largest sway bars you got. Ohh and upgrade me to the KYB gas adjust shocks"
Other things to note, I have the shelby a arm mod and a little heavier 351c in the front. I recently upgraded to a roller spring perch in the front and eliminate the lower coil spring isolated pad do-hickey thing. I still have the top one in there though.

im prolly gonna have a heavy 351W in mine so that should maybe be close to your setup. I will have to see.

4.75 to the pan
4.00 to the collectors
2k miles and nothing has hit yet.
I drive fast on the highway through the potholes and all.
I do take it easy entering parking lots and driveways.
I have not had to go over any speed bumps yet

See the sign. I LOVE the suspension from them. Was able to redo the main stuff for about $300, and I plan on picking up a new front and rear swap bar from them soon. Well worth it.

if you have stock brake lines (ie from 35+ years old) order new front brake lines while ur at it. all the manipulating of the spindle to get at the bolts/nuts tore the old stock lines to shreds. also if your going to remove the power steering, this would be the time to convert the new center link (only one trip to the alignment shop
)
i did the full replacement on mine and just like the others, it ride's and drives like a dream. just make sure you check the rear sway bar at 500 and 1000 miles to make sure it hasn't come loose. also on the rear sway bar make sure you get the perches that mount to the rear end as level as possible (they stay tighter).

My only complaint was with the ball joint dust covers (boots) on all their products. The rubber on all of their supsension parts dry rotted within one year. I did not even have the car on the road and noticed the boots had major splits and cracks in them. I am now slowly replacing them with poly boots and will not buy their suspension products again.

Hey, I bet my life on their stuff.
My race rod has all Magna parts. My coils up front are 750# (do not use these on the street if your teeth have fillings) and the rear is 5 leaf with reverse eyes. 1 1/8" front bar with poly bushings all around and no rear bar.

Wow dodgestang, your car makes me want to lower mine SOOOO bad. How's ground clearance? Your oilpan sure looks close to the ground.

I feel like I've been answering this a lot lately...
4.75 to the pan
4.00 to the header collectores.
Nothing hit so far with 2k hard miles on it...I do take it easy entering driveways and parking lots....but I don't baby it anywhere else.
