Whelp I finished dropping Aprils old 7.5" and put it under the 01' parts GT which in turn should be leaving tomorrow to its new owner to be parted out.
I just dont have the time to part it out before we move back to Cali.

The 01' Rear should really look nice under her 96', after I put the old rear back under the 01' I could see just how much shorter it was.

I was somewhat surprised of the bad shape Aprils 7.5 was in, I guess thats why it always felt like crap in the assend. lol

Thinking about grabbing some KSR control arms for it from JDsPerformance unless I can snag a better deal used.

If anyone has any good cheap rear springs that are about 1/2" to 3/4" drop let me know.

I officially hate forums I got my hands on a BMW 325 CI coupe and posted on some BMW forums and I don't think anyone there actually knows real "tech" about the cars :/

Agreed, I'm just glad it was an opinion based post, and not needing any actual help on how to fix it lol I've done all the "hard" work to the car, and nobody would answer the silly little questions

Little depressed. Funds are tight, I'm anxious to get started on the 68. I thought the 3.8 in a classic was an my idea but I actually saw in my new issue of modified mustangs and fords a company that makes a wiring harness for a 3.8 super coupe in a classic.

At $200, whats wrong with it?

How much were they good for? About 450-480rwhp on stock internals?
What year is it?

2001. I heard roughly 500 before you break stuff. I won't be going that high. Probably run 6 psi.
