Default RE: 72 Front Brake Drums?

I hate to keep bugging y'all, but cosmetics are more my thing. I'm trying to deal with the mechanical stuff myself due mostly to my location. (And I enjoy it).
I've noticed alot of posts about the mustangs nose up stance. I'm having the same problem to a small degree. What I found on the front springs is a "m" shaped clip attached to the bottom 2 coils, seemingly spreading them slightly. (the car is still on jacks). Before I found someone to replace the springs on my 68 t-bird, I heard talk of spring helpers. If this is what they are, could I remove them to get the front to drop some? It looks like they've been on there for awhile. The back of the car is about 1/2" lower than the front. It doesn't really look or act like it's sagging though. Thanks again.

Yup those things are spring helpers. Take them out they are junk!

I have no idea why anyone would put those dang things on a car. Take them out and chunk them. Some of the nose up problem could also be due to the rear leaf springs that have aged and have lost their spring. When I replaced mine, it helped the stance of my car immensely. There is also the Shelby drop that will lower it a tad in the front.
