I've installed the TC front springs and Mach 1 rears now, I don't think I've uploaded pictures of it yet. This was 1 week ago last Sunday when my new PA performance alternator ped out (across from the state penn of all places). My friend stopped by in his new van to run me to and from the parts store.

Looks good! Do you have any pics from some front angles? I thought your car was blue? It looks like its black in these. I like that van too!

I've been meaning to get some good pictures lately but haven't taken the time. I just happened to have my camera with me that day. Yeah, it's still blue. So is the van. Bad lighting I guess.
Looks nice hell even the van looks good keep it clean and i want to see a few more pics of it.
Looks awesome.THAT is how I want mine to sit.Did you have to get an alignment/That's what's holding me back from springs,I just had my alignment done,and don't want to pay for it again.LOL.
What was the issue with the PA alternator, any resolution from them?
I'm pretty sure front springs will require an alignment ;)
Looks great:D . I know I could use TC springs in the front on mine but I wonder how the Mach 1 rears would hold up to the extra weight of the 87-88s rear end.
Thats sittin nice,you do have ajustable on the rear don't you?
What brand of body kit components are installed on that car? It looks very nice. Great work.

Any idea how much lower the arse would get? I know the TC springs should lower in about 1" or so in the front.
Yo vinnie,unless you put back to where it was ,you don't,LOL.
But yeh you will,even for peace of mine.
I'll just leave mine as it is with the stock springs.It sits high,but I am used to it,and,it'll be fine.One day down the road I may change my mind,but for now,no big deal.The Sport has bigger needs right now (paint,275 40 17's out back,paint,install all of the NOS parts,paint.....).
Nos?
New Old Stock.Headlights,1/4 windows,fog lights and harness,door handles,lock set,ignition tumbler,and a lot of other plain old "new" parts...Mach 1 chin spoiler,window trim,push button start kit,twist locks for the hood (brand new NOS Australian Ford Falcon parts),emblems,and more.
Cougar 5.0 did a write up concerning Mach1 springs...
Sorry I'm bad thinken nitro
A nice one at that, he also just blown up!
Must of had to much turbs.
the mach ones dropped my car too far.... the rear is a wee bit to havy for them to look right
Oh yeah, I got an alignment. I replaced everything in the suspension. Tokico Illumina shocks/struts, Urethane bushings, ball joints, new TC steering rack, TC spindles/brakes, MM C/C plates and the TC springs.
The rear has CHE adjustable lower control arms and fixed uppers with the Mach 1 springs. It sat higher than stock in the rear with the stock springs and new arms. With the Mach 1's, the pad on the arms is adjusted around 3/4 of the way up.
I didn't measure the height of the car before I did all the suspension mods so I don't know for sure exactly how much it's dropped. I do know that if I hit a big enough bump the 255/40R17's on 9" wide wheelshiznit my front fender lips.
I'll be using the search function. Thanks :D
The bearing was bad I believe. Not sure why it blew the 200A fuse on the new charge cable, though. I think a new one is on the way now. Hopefully be back on the road this weekend.
I don't know alot about the body kit, I couldn't tell you. It's been on the car since I bought it ten years ago.
Well the alternator came back yesterday. The invoice from PA said that an insulator was compromised. Took the car out after getting it all back together and it was running great. I found a 5.0 Mustang when I was driving around and caught a few lights with him. It was a very clean 87-93 black convertible lowered with black cobra R's and 3" dual exhaust. I don't know anything else about it other than it was a manual trans and it was consistently slower than my car. At the first light when he lit up the tires really bad, I pulled so far ahead I couldn't even guess how many cars I pulled on him. The one good race we had I had a good 3-4 cars on him by 80mph.
Sweetness indeed. The chrome trim on black really set off the "Classy" feel of the scheme. The wheels and GFX kit still says agressive. I like it.
