67 Coupe Droop

finally got what you wanted and screwing it up already??? wow, what next...

Nice response, Jim! How about keeping ideas like that to yourself if you don't have anything constructive to say?

As for you, Trooper, you didn't say whether the rear leaf springs have been changed or not (you said 'shocks' whick for me are the absorbers, not the springs...) Could be your problem if they haven't.

Sorry About that....Yes the Shock absorbers have been changed, But not the Leaf springs....Where could I get replacement leaf springs.....I don't want to rear end "Jacked Up", With the Looking down at the road Syndrome, I just want the car to sit level...Thanx for every one's help in advance...Trooper

Google up "spring shop".... a well equipped spring shop (with a decent blacksmith on staff) can rebuild your current spring packs if replacements can't be found. New or rebuilt springs will generally have the ride height a little higher than desired until they have a chance to settle in.

I'd say get some new leaf springs, you can get a pair for less than 100 bucks from any of the vintage Mustang catalogs (I use NPD), and you can get them with specially made 'eye' placements, so you can have original height or 1" lowered or 1" raised. After 35 years, the spring will be tired, and it's not very difficult to replace the leaf springs.

My $.02 worth -- from the owner of a '67 convertible restoration in progress....

Mustangs Plus, California Mustang, National Parts Depot - there are several catalog markets that cater to the vintage Mustang; most are on line.

I had the springs re-sprung at a spring shop for my old Galaxie and it made a world of difference. Don't forget to replace the bushings as well. I didn't realize how terrible it handled until the rear end firmed up.

Kate, are you still in double entendre mode?

cougars too have the problem. The obvious fix is the leaf springs. the other option is some lowered front springs which could give your ride a neat look if pan draggers are your thing

Would also like to add Maier Racing here in California to the list as well

While we are on the subject of leaf springs, my '73 maverick is needing new leaf springs, and probably front springs as well. What would be a good source for leaf springs for fords in general of this vintage?

Any OEM or modified spring can be made here:
