Just got my front suspension put back together. All new bushings, balljoints, mustangII V8 coil springs with 2 coils cut off and a fresh coat of POR15. Getting ready to run new brake lines. The calipers are all painted a nice-Shiney-red and new brake pads ofcourse.

I'd start by installing them with 1 coil cut then go 1/2 coil at a time till you get it where you want it
Cut mine to 3 & 3/4" less than 6 full coils.
thnx for the replies, would the mII coils fit if i DONT cut them at all..????? ???
They will go in but there is less weight in a Pinto nose so it will sit higher than an MII. I've never measured but I think MII's sit higher at all 4 corners to begin with
ok,thnx sir
