It is a great looking Grabber Mach (no offense to the GO Mach's).
Thanks guys, its still a work in progress.
Finally got a chance to swap my springs out.
Stock height vs. 620# Grab a track.
There is 4 inches difference between the springs. So i decided to install them as is. I didn't cut anything off of the coils.
A picture of the fender height before installation (With stock height Springs).
A pic with the 620#
Almost 1 inch exactly lower in ride height.
From the fender to the top of the tire:
Before
After
The best i could do for a side shot as the weather had turned Nasty.
I'm a little disappointed because i was hoping they would drop the front even further. I guess ill leave it be for now, and maybe come spring if it has not settled any (I am doubtful it will) i will trim some off the coils.
At least now I dont have to worry about scrapping the roof off of my garage door pulling the car in and out.

Tires are 225/45/17 slicks on 17x8 CL205's.

That car can haul ass too. Shaun and I have done some open track events together. It's been a while so I bet it's even faster now. Nice looking control arms Shaun.
Nice camber kit too :naug

Jake, after you installed the new springs did you move it around while turning the wheel? If not, it WILL settle more.
No i didnt move it around really. I did jack up each control arm individually and drop it back to the ground though. I figured that should be sufficient. The weather is crap here (and is suppose to suck through the week end), so i didn't want to pull it out."silverblueBP" said:

I'd venture to say that after you move the car in and out of the garage it will "settle" quite a bit more than what you're seeing now.

I bought 1" 480# lowering springs from NPD.
They put the nose down to where I like it.

Yep, it's got OT roller perches and camber kit also. I LOVE the camber kit. I set my UCA's as short as possible and use the LCA eccentric to set camber. I'm at -2.75* with the LCA in the inboard #3 hole. Gives me gobs of tire to fender clearance.
Nothing fancy under the hood. 289 with ported/polished heads, Comp Magnum 270 cam, Stealth intake, full length long tubes into 2.5" pipes, x-pipe and mandrel bent tailpipes.
Jake,
Yes take the car for a quick jaunt and it will drop a little more. Without reading the whole thread again, are you running ORP's perches?

Get them for the wife for x=mas, she'll understand...you may even get sum...
Got the car out today, put about 15 miles on it, And you guys were right. when i got home and back in the garage, it looks like the coil swap made the front fall a total of almost 2 inches. Im going to keep it like this for a while. Way better look then how it used to be. Heres a pic i took while i was out!

Did you drop the UCA like the shelby's?
I think you can reach your goal with these springs AND the shelby drop.IMHO.
