About to begin Front end rebuild

Hey, did a 70 convert V8 a few months ago.
Replaced entire front suspension, used 1" lowered springs front and back, the HD ones
(think they were 620's or so). Saw you mentioned Canadian Mustang - I used all their pieces, including their Midolyne bushings.
VERY pleased, HIGHLY recommend the Midolyne.
Rides firm but not like poly - doesn't transmit road shock like poly (just like they claimed, even!).

I did the front in a weekend, but stuck with it
and didn't do lots of detailing. Canadian Mustang good to deal with, parts fit and worked great. Car handles really well, firm but not harsh ride, corners great even with stock small front-only sway bar. Looks really good lowered, too. Would strongly consider their 1" rear lowered springs now or later if necessary. Would probably be good to lower those front arm pivot points 1" as mentioned above. Somewhere there's a template for that job (on net) - anyone know where? Definitely get good spring compressor, and use jack stands. Kind of tough to get the upper arm pivot stuff together (I rebuilt mine instead of buying new arms), otherwise pretty straight forward job.

Go for it and enjoy the ride!!
