re feedback requested on lowering mustang in article x xz b w w vllyoak resun com jp vllyoak resun com jeff perry writes i have found a kit advertised for lowering the front end of an early mustang installation envolves moving the upper a arm and installation of a wedge shaped spacer between the a arm and ball joint apparently shelby mustangs did a similair modification but left out the spacer i would be interested in feedback pro or con on such a modification i m no mustang head but don t the early ones have a simple strut suspension that is with no upper a arm just a strut going down to a lower control arm single bushing not an a arm with a tension compression rod locating it in the forward backward direction anyway simple strut suspensions like this can be lowered just by using shorter springs cutting the springs lowering the spring perch or shortening the strut below the perch in each of these cases the suspension geometry will suffer because the lower control arms will not be at the intended angle a spacer placed between control arm and the bottom of the strut roughly the height of the reduction will restore the suspension geometry imho the kit that includes the spacer is the only way to go ken ken r dye an optimist is a guy lachman technology inc chicago that has never had x much experience dye lachman com archy
