suspension squeaking
ORIGINAL: muggsy
That looks great and exactly what I needed to see. I love the way it sits. To have it sit at this height with the 15 inch rims all around, did you have to roll fenders at all? Also, what do you have for shocks?

Heck no, absolutely no rolling of fenders - that is why I researched the tire/wheel size. Mustang Monthly did an article several years ago as to what aftermarket tires worked well on a stock '65 fastback. They came up with the 225/50/15's and it worked perfectly for me, even with the 1" front. 1 1/2" rear drop.
Rich,
To answer your question, soaring got it right. If you torgue while the vehicle is in the air and susp extended, you risk the chance of tearing rubber bushings or damaging poly when the vehicle settles under it's own weight. For the other question, the coils seat in a perch both top and bottom. You'll need to turn the coil clockwise or counter clockwise to get it to sit correctly in the perch. Each time you raise the lower A-arm you'll probably notice the coil will twist and settle, turning too far or not enough. In other words, the coil may not be in the exact same position you started with once the A-arm is raised.
These are just precautionary moves to prevent from doubling your efforts down the road.
