Re: 64 Comet V8 lowering tips
I know it sound funny, but I think that a six actually weighs a little more than a V8, Mine I fell is the perfect height, and i relocated the upper control arms 1 inch, that actually improves the front geometry, the same way shelby did to the 65 GT 350s. For the rear I used 1 inch blocks.
Good luck!

I did basically the same thing and agree with 4-2.
I did alot more engine bay work as well but if you check in SHOWING OFF
in my thread LET ME START there are pics to show you.
If you have extra springs to play with you could try cutting them as well
and a conbination of moving the upper and cutting the spring will get it
down real nice and still steer nice without running on the snubbers

Removed coils
They are about .61 coil dia.
The wagon coils are .59 per Rockauto
The wagon coils should sit sit lower it seems.
Has anyone tried them?
