Just lowered my 66 Coupe

[66_5.0]

Well ever since I got the car back from the shop I haven't been able to really work on it due to school and other things. So this past weekend I finally got fed up and decided to get rid of my 4x4 stance.

The front spring are the 620 Grab-A-Traks with the so called 1" drop. I actually had to cut the springs to get it to sit lower, I have never done that before so I ended up just cutting 1/4 of a coil, but now the front is just a tiny bit higher than the front, oops. That will get fixed this coming weekend.

In the back I have 5 leaf standards also Grab-A-Trak, but sat WAY too high. I installed some 2" lowering blocks and it also sits much better. The car is slowly but surely progressing.

That stance is lookin great. Where the 5 leafs standard ride height or a mid-eye/reverse eye lowered height? (Before the lowering blocks did their thing)

[66_5.0]

Thanks Fletch! They were standard 5-leaf, I was 18 when I bought the car and wanted it higher in the back relative to the front. Now I know that looked ugly and fixed it now.

Looks good. I put the reverse eyes on mine and it sits about as low as yours in the back if not a tiny bit lower. My 620's I ended up cutting 1/2 a coil out and did the Shelby drop. Looks great though, whats the color?

[66_5.0]

^^Thanks. How does it ride with the reverse eye? Its pretty jumpy I would say after the lowering blocks and I rub on the left side but I think I know why.

The color is Azure Blue, comes off of the new edge Mach 1

I really like that color too! Your car looks good.
It took about 1 month of driving around for my new springs to "settle" when I installed them in my 66.

Looks great! What size wheels/tires did you go with?

Whats your distance from the ground up to the wheel wells? I'm looking to re-do mine in the next year, and I like the look/stance of yours.

[LonestarStang]

That looks awesome!

[verti89]

very nice

Thanks guys! Chase, I havent measured it but will do so later when I get home.

For wheel size/tires: 15x7 front and back, 205/60 up front and 235/60 in the rear. I like it but maybe couldve got a 245 to fit in the rear
