I tried them in my tc but they were too low for my taste. I ended up using moog cargo coils.  they gave me a good stance.

I should think the rears would be about 3" too short. I've got Mustang springs in my car (Bullitt springs, actually) and had to adjust my CHE arms almost as high as they go

How much of that Mustang was left? I've got a 94 V6 that could use a few parts. Marianna's only an hour away, cold drinks are on me....

Chuck, are the 83-86 any different, or are the convrtible springs longer than other SN95's? If I'd used stock height LCA's with my Bullitt springs my rear axle would've been on the bump stops. They were a good 3" shorter than the stock T-Bird springs...

I don't think the Bullitt springs are anything at all like the normal SN-95 rear springs.  The SN-95 ones are only a touch shorter than the stock Tbird/Cougar ones.  The Bullitts are more like the C-Kits, which are WAAYY too short for use in a Tbird/Cougar.

I've been around more than a year, just haven't done anything much with the car...... I live near Vernon. I think I told you about a red Cougar sitting along SR79 over here? or maybe that was after you left for TX?

There's a couple over in FWB area. I met Lakenheath the other day when I bought a rear end from one of his parts cars. Based on that there may even be enough of us in this part of the world for a decent meet.

Just for clarification... these are V6 vert springs? This is the look i was shooting for and already have those wheels for it if I can figure out how to steal them from my girlfriend's Mustang or see that $200 96-98 Cobra set at Moultrie again this year. ;) How much are the LCA mounts lowered?

Also what struts and shocks are you running with it? I assume there are C/C plates under there too?
