shelby drop q

[Lswhat]

i have 620 springs i the front if i do the shelby drop will the springs fall out when i jack the car up or if hell freezes over and i pull the nose i dont want them falling out. if they will how can i solve the problem.

I did the Shelby 1 inch drop on my 70 and I have eibach 1 inch progressive lowering springs. I can lift the front end up and nothing falls out. I had to use a spring compressor to put the springs in still so I don't see why you should run into any problems. I guess you can use the eurothane spring spacers(mustangs plus has them i think) to keep tention if you are worried about them falling out still but I really doubt you need it. Note: the shelby drop will lower your car. Mine with the springs is about 3-4 inches lower than stock.

so the shock will keep the springs in? i just dont want to go through the trouble of having to reset the springs everytime i have to jack the front end up. if eed be ill chain the suspension.

The springs stay in fine by themselves in my car. The shock is not needed to hold the springs in place. They dont flop or loose their place if i put the car on a jack or anything. My springs are also lowered one inch from stock so you should be just fine.
