I have a friend who has his own shop and lowers all of his old hot rods and says he can cut the coils on mine and lower it how i want in the front. But i need some photos of some of yalls stangs so i can show him about what i want. Also what kind of rear leaf would you use to lower the rear? Someone told me the reverse eye leaf might be too low and to go with the mid-eye.

 

Is cutting the coils the best and right way to lower your car.....

 

yes its fine as long as you dont heat them up with a torch like most morons doto lower the springand make them brittle. it will give me a stiffer ride also. the 620s arnt quite low enough for me.

 

dont cut the springs, do it the right way and buydifferent sizesprings

 

620's will probably not give the ride height your looking for. I cut 1 coil from my 620's.

I wouldnt cut old coils either

 

Get new coils and cut those.

 

whats wrong with the old ones

 

I used 620's cut a coil and used 4.5 mideyes my pic is in my sig.Not a real smooth ride but on a flat road its awesome and handles awesome..

 

Don't older coils get work hardened as a by product of them bouncing up and down all the time? Making them brittle anyway

 

Here is some info on my experience with lowering springs (and also cutting them):

I was supposed to get the 620's but they sent me the wrong ones (same size and everything just a stiffer/stronger spring). I cut a full coil w/ a hack saw to keep it from getting too hot. I used 5-leaf Mid-Eyes out back, but wish it was about 1/2" lower. I have some pics on the site of the stance, and a ton more if you would like to see others.

Good luck.
