Recommendations for lowering the stance of my 65 FB?

[sentipede]

Hello,
Well with spring just around the corner, I was thinking of dropping the stance of my 65 for a more aggressive look. Currently running stock suspension with KYB Premium Gas Shocks. The wheel gap in the rear is larger than that of the front. Any suggestions for a cost efficient solution that will not destroy ride quality?

how much would you like to lower it? I'm using 1" drop coil springs up front, and 1" drop 5 leafs in back with 1" lowering blocks. All are reasonably priced and easy to come by, but changing springs simply takes a while to do. I love the stance it produced. Here is a picture to help you decide if that might be too low. By the way, your car is beautiful.

FWIW...I think it look just fine the way it is.

Sittin way too high. Get some 620's and cut 3/4 a coil plus a Shelby drop, then get the reverse eyes and a 1/2" drop block.

My combo is the same minus the block but I plan to run one.

Hard to notice the stance with that paint job! Beautiful car!

4 leaf reverse eye or mid eye rear springs.

Do an Arning drop to the front, cut the front ones to match.

Nice paint. Nicer garage.

Your stance is perfect, what are you using?

Thanks for all the comments, I will look for replacement springs and coils.
Does anyone have a recommendation as to which to buy? Mustang Depot?

Also does anyone know of a suspension shop in Chicago or the western suburbs that one can recommend?

Thanks again!
