Hey Bullitt,

I've looked at tons of suspension web pages in the past couple of weeks and I cannot remember seeing 2" lowering coils. Just out of curiosity, don't you think you will run into rub issues if you drop it that much?

I'm resotring a 1965 and I am going to go with the 620# 1" drop in the front and the 1.5" raise in the rear.

I don't think so you see how high it is I like the stock hight in the rear it looks low (it needs new shocks) but I'm was planing to lower the front by 2" and leave the rear stock hight I'm go with 14" or15" wheels 215x65or60x14"or15"s in front and mybe 225 to 235x65or6014"or15" in the rear I think one of them will fit! thanks for the help

We did the Shelby drop and cut 1/2 coil off each spring on our '65 and ended up wth about a 2 inch drop. The fenders are down about 1 inch below the tops of the tires (205R60/15) and dont rub at all anywhere.

We have about 5 inches at the bell housing/transmission interface and 6 inches at the oil pan.
