uhh...yeah no bueno...i assume its for 1/4 mile kinda stuff?

 

Are you seriously considering using air shocks to jack up your rear if the new leaf springs bring it down too low? Haven't you been paying attention. Air shocks, when pumped up, will punch a hole in your car where the shocks hook up. Trust me, the standard eye and the KYB gas adjusts will make your car sit factory correct. If you want it about an inch lower that factory, get the mid eye leaves with KYB gas adjusts.

 

Well, thansk for the info! Ill hope for the best...

 

IMO i like the front lower then the back. i want the 620 springs in front and keep the rear stock height. does the grab-a-trac kit come with 620 springs? it said something about them in the profile on mustangs plus but it didnt say if it came with it or not.

 

Yeah, Air Shocks a no no on classic mustangs. It'll punch straight through the seat. Now my impala uses air shocks, but it's got a frame and all that. But, even so, Air shocks suck as far as performance goes.

 

i have air shocks on mine and i have no problem with them

 

You probably don't even have them pumped up. Pump them up to max. (If they will still hold air) and Drive down the road and hit several bumps at speed. If you still have teeth left, you will notice a slight difference in the configuration of the area where the top of the back shocks hook up. Just trust an old man's advice. Do not run air shocks on a classic Mustang.

 

you dont know that. Your car isn't cornering as good as mine. I can tell you right now. well, i have a couple of suspension mods too, but those Air shocks aren't helping your car, and it's also weakening the shock mounting points. If you ever have to go around a cornor real hard, and it puts alot of pressure back there, dont be surprised to hear a pop.

 

No, the long shackels are the poor man's answer to tired leaf springs. In the 70's "cool" kids put them on their Chevelles to give their cars the down-hill effect on their muscle machines.

Think this look:


But instead of big tires and tubbed rear...think narrow short wheels but big long bars protruding from the frame...and the leafs sitting nice and low.

Driver's usually sport mullets.

 

Here is a typical extension to help gain height in the rear.
