anyone have a decent quality and decent priced, drop kit for a 66?! nothing to much maybe a 2/4 drop?

 

Before you do that, relocate the upper control arms down 1". It'll lower the car 5/8", and noticeably improve handling.

Are you saying you're trying to lower the car 2-4"!? Because that is impossibly rediculous. I can understand somwhere between 0-2" but any more and you'll be rubbing and be scrapin' your undercarriage.

 

Yep. Sorry.

Four inches? A picture is worth a thousand words...

 

A 2/4" drop is NOT impossible. Mine is lowered about 2.5" in the front and close to 3" in the rear.Doesnt scrape at all

 

It would if you lived around here, I guarantee.

 

I scrape like no other...had to put some stainless steel plates to protect the exhaust

 

who many inches did you lower yours eZ? I can obviously tell a lot but just curious on a number.

but to address the question, to lower these cars for the Front do the Shelby drop (.5-.75" from what I know) and get 1" drop springs (620lbs or 560 or whatever you like) for the front. In the rear you can get mid-eye leak springs (1" drop) or reverse-eye leaf springs (2" drop).

Keep in mind these drop numbers are based from a brand new stock suspension, if you suspension is old and settled, new lowering springs might simply keep it the same height. If you need the car lower you can slowly cut the coils on the fronts and get stuff like lowering blocks as far as I know for the rear. But I can't see you going lower than a reverse eye in the rear and maybe a coil or so cut off in the front.

 

lol i like how you added the couch to you pic now.

in short.....drilling new holes and dropping the upper control arms

 

Mine is lowered 3" all around.. But we made sure everything is tucked up tight.
