Who are these noobs John? They don't understand that a shock works best when the piston is at a somewhat central location of it's travel at ride height and when you lower a car you need to compensate with the mounting of the shock? These are obviously not people who see your car at the track unless they are from the grandstands...HAHAHA.
Another great project John
Is there a formula to figure out how much height should be added to the mounts? Is it based on the length of the shock fully extended and then where it rests when mounted with the full weight of the car on it? Or, do you just estimate based upon the Shelby drop and how much the springs are shortened?

Badass John! I love your projects... in fact, don't forget I like 'em enough that I created Opentracker's Stangnet thread links page.
Keep up the good work!

What ever you lower the car by would determine the height of the space required. The spacer or extended shock mount provides additional shock travel lost during the lowering process.Pathfinder65 said:
Very nice alternative to the spacers, Very stock looking. Now to make coil over mounts that look stock!
