I am considering the front end Shelby lowering mod. for my 65' 2+2. I would like to hear some opinion from people if this is a good thing to do or not.

It all depends if you want to keep your factory Mustang stock or not. If you want the Shelby lowered front end, then go for it. If not, then spare the expense of doing it.

 

There is no negative in performing the shelby a arm mod unless you are a concourse car person since your car will no longer be factory correct.

The shelby a arm mod lowers your upper control arms 1 inch down and 1/8 to the rear. The result is a much improved camber curve. Once the car is also aligned with the correct specs the tire will no longer tip outward on curves (meanign you can also run a little wider front tire) and you will have a better contact patch on the curves.

There is no cost involved with this mod except that of an alignment provided you have a drill and know how to use it.

 

Where do you drill?

 

Dodgestang is correct.
There is a template that should be used, but I forgot the source.
Try to google it.

Also, if I'm not mistaken, the alignment is different than the stock 65 to get the full benefit of the modification. I can get the specs if you want them I'm just not home right now.

 

Good find Mike....errr Mark.
