I have a dropped Mustang suspension, using Racecraft products and ZR 35/40
size tires. I race across the speed bumps with no problem. The shocks,
coils, and leaf springs will determined if you can or not. I would never
drop any vehicle without the additional swap out. Or what do we have?
Another bouncing Rice Tin Can!

Subject: DML: Front Suspension drop

I've read some of the archives about dropping the
front of the Dak. Many DML'ers have dropped theirs
2 inches or more. I really don't want any front end
headaches, like hitting bumpstops, bottoming out or steam
rolling debri on the freeway. Don't get me wrong I think
the 2" looks nice, but I thought a 1" drop would be more
practicle (for me). Does anyone have any EXPERIENCE/
suggestions on what type of spring would do the job?
I think Eibach only has the 2" drop spring. Western?
GroundForce?

With a 1" drop, any alignment (camber) problems?

Thanks Folks!
