Project "BlackOut" 89 convert.

actually installing drag springs are really easy for me,i just drop the control arm and leave the strut connected,installed the spring angle it right and jack the control arm up while someone maneuvers the control arm in. Took me 15mins on each side.

when we replaced struts in my 88 this is what we did. and this is what i was thinking of doing this to save time!

i have access to AAA to use any any all tools. inculding wall mounted sprin compressor

Make sure you adjust the rear shoes. If they are too loose it will feel spongy.

Did u do the drum brakes yourself ryan? When i get my gears swapped out im having the brakes done......Is it possible to hook the ebrake cable up with the shoes on it?

 

[LaserSVT]

Are you having good luck with the Sony? I used to love them then they had turned to crap so my shop stopped selling them. That was 5 years ago though. Hows the sound and quality on it?

 

[ryan218]

that sony deck is at least 5 years old. works fine. ( out of my dads stang. he replaced it with anew one )

sond is good. this will give you an idea.
