I hope someone will be able to give me some good advice ..... I am upgrading my front brakes to discs and decided to install new upper and lower control arms and all new bushings up front. I received some good advice on doing a "shelby drop" on the upper control arms. The only thing that is stopping me is that I already purchased coil springs that will drop the stock height 1". My question is will the "shelby drop" drop my front end another 1"? I dropped the rear of the car 1" by installing mideye leaf springs and I dont want the front end to be too low for some decent size wheels. any help please!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Same as Dodgestang but on a '67, 1" lowering springs, 1" Shelby/Arning drop, 4 1/2 leaf mideyes on rear. My car is level within 1/4" on 15" tires. Fender lip is ~24.5" from ground, exactly the look I was going for.
Be sure to have your alignment reset to the Shelby specs, print them out and take them to the shop and advise them to set to those specs and not the stock Mustang specs or it'll drive like a GM.
