Suspension done, here are pictures.

OMG I need a new camera! Sorry about the uber shiznitty pictures.
 
Car is dirty! Too cold to wash it though.
 
The rear has 01 GT springs and shocks.
 
The front has 01 GT struts and the GT springs with one coil cut off of them to level it out.
 
I'm in love with the new look! Can't really tell on the handling yet as there is a fresh dusting of sand on the roads because of last nights ice.
 
Now to get the final alignment and the other two tires installed!

if you put in a 5.0 you will need that extra coil back. otherwise that is a mean looking stance.. any rub in the front?

Actually, the 4.6L still weights more than the 5.0, so it might not be *too* bad. Either way, 99+ GT springs are easy to find.
It's Gumby's fault.

excellent job claude! Looks real nice. Hopefully i will have garage clear on sat and well take some great shots of the car. That ride height is exactly how i want mine to look. I may have to work sat till 1100. i was at our favorite place on tues and the tc is still there if you want to get the rear end and such. I will call you tonight for sure
