hey bro. ya...620's up front with a full coil chopped out...rears are 5 leaf Reverse-Eyes. Cutting a coil dropped it 2 full inches in the front, and the reverse eyes have settled to about 1.5". Amazing what 1/2"-1" of rake will do for looks huh.
depending on what your backspacing is on those newer-styled bullit rims, you may be able to get your rubber to clear if you chop a coil out of the fronts. Measure twice, cut once....check your clearances now, lock the wheels up left-to-right and look to see if you might get any rubbing issues if you drop that thing down another inch. I will say, with about another 1/2-1" drop in the front, you'll be sittin mean.

Thanks man. Backspacing all around is 4.5" Right now the front wheel lips should be cut or rolled. They don't rub too much at all, if any, lock-to-lock. The rear drivers side wheel lip is scaring me though. I guess over big bumps the lip has been slicing thin pieces of rubber off the sidewall. I think I had some people in the rear seat at the time also. But the fact is I really need to roll the lips for extra insurance. Thanks again buddy.

I've turned a previous set of my yokahamas into some string cheese before, it does make a big difference even with one passenger in the backseat. Make sure you trim and/or roll those rear lips before you go any lower and you wont have any problems at all. With my setup, I can only get the fronts to rub (barely) under a hard banking turn, but I have to be movin pretty good through the corner.

65 was an improvement over 64.5, they got rid of the falcons speedo and made the mustang more it's own car, not a falcon leftover. they dumped the 170 and the 260.
The only thing i like about the 67 is it's ability to handle a bigger engine then the 65/66, but once you cut out the shocktowers, it doesn't really matter, the 65/66 can handle just about anything.
