I already have to sets of springs for it just have to decide which ones to go with. How low can you go with t-birds? This is my first so I don't know how far to go.

Gawd that makes me long for my old medium canyon red 1985 Tbird... It was pretty much identical to this... However I always hated those 14" polycast wheels! I had aspirations to do Mustang GT rims of some sort but never got around to it.
