Default new suspension loud as heck!!

I installed a completely new suspension from laurel mountain mustang. when the car goes over the slightest bump it squeeks sooo loud! also i have severe tire rub. i think i went too low in the front but i love the look. the rear will come down another inch. I did a shelby drop w/ 620 coils -1/2 a coil. do you think a smaller tire will work? these are not the rims i will be using but the are the same size.

new stuff only has enough grease to keep it from rusting you need to grease all the joints until grease comes out of them.

Those wheels are way over board. I'm glad you like the look. But with 620s, shelby drop - 1/2 coil...you're looking at having to go with a much smaller wheel/tire combo. I'm thinking more like a 215/55-15 on a 4.25" bs wheel.

+1 fore my tastes that is to much tire under those fenders, but the good news is its your car so if you can resolve the clearience issues with out going with smaller tires, than go for it!!
