or do you

G'day,
if you want to even it out, the shleby drop would work.
Other than that, have your spring provider reset the springs too your liking.

You should never cut or heat springs.

Cheers

what is a shelby drop
thanks

jas24zzk

it involves removal of the upper control arms and redriling the holes 1 inch lower...and back a bit.
If you are in a mustang club or have a reputable mustang supplier near you, you should be able to get a drilling template from them.

Nassi,
i am not 100% sure that shelby did it that way to all his products. There are other experts that would know.....start with Bob Lorich from MOCA Vic.

The latest car i have seen the shelby drop on was a 1971....but have not worked on any stangs later than that.

Cheers
