Coil and Leaf springs

  • What front coil and rear leaf spring configuration are you running?


    I recently put on koni shocks, a Global West 1" drop 640 coil and poly bushings. I've yet to replace the rear leaf because there's so many to choose from I'm lost. My car is a Jan 65 hipo from Dearborn.


    Right now the front is sitting with a ride height of:

    Front: 26 5/8

    Rear: 25 1/2


    Hopefully replacing the rear leaf will even out the dragg'n butt and high nose! Any suggestions. I'd like some close to the original ride set-up. Once the rear is done I might still end up replacing the front coil with a more factory option, because I'm getting a bit worried the car is still going to sit a bit high for a stock K car height.

  • My 65 Shelby with stock springs and lowered upper

    control arms sits at 26.0" in front and 27" in the

    back with 15" wheels and 27.61" diameter tires.
