Fox Suspension 85gt Vert

[madmustanger]

Madmustanger here: guys girls i live ina little mill town called chester , sc lota multi level roads,traintracks,and other problematic stuff for low riding vehicles.
I have a 85 gt convertable scrapes on lot places here exhaust and other parts of the underside possibly even the trans. My question was the converts designed to sit lower than the coupes and if so
could same yr lx hatch svo ave taller springs. What cross yrs will work with my mustang if anycause i want to raise it enuff without compromising the handing to much. I have springs and struts up front separate from each other quad shocks rear no springs. I need it just high enuff to clear the "road hazards "here.
My budgets tight (disablity ) already got air shocks for the rear what combo can i use for the frt oem aftermarket? Anything that'll help will be appreciated. May all have agd weekend

Get new spring isolators.Jegs has aluminum spacers designed to raise ride height in increments.

Did you say there are no springs in the rear? If so, you need them.

No springs no indication there was ever any. Does have quad shock setup. Was this way from 1st time i saw it. Now tell me why you think it needs them

It has springs. You just haven't found them yet.

It "needs" the springs, because the car sits on them. All cars have springs (Including yours) and have had ever since the Model T.

Something similar to this.

Is that some cobbled together side exhaust that I see peeking out?


Do us a favor. Get the back end of the car up off the ground, take a pic and post it here.

Do the exact same thing for the front.

Don't buy any more pieces/parts until you/we know what's under the car. Air shocks? No.

OK see what i can do. May be a few days. For the record my bud an me changed rr shocks a few yrs ago didnt remember springs. Now there might be springleafs under there.

There's no leaf springs under there. Should both be coil with a solid rear axle, upper and lower control arms.

I'll look to be sure and yes its a cobbled side exhaust made it into a true dual 2.5 in tubes running to 2,5 cherrybomb glasspacks then 90 degreed to the side left pipe sticking out cause had planned to put deep dish rims and something in the neighborhood of drag radial then pipe ends won't look so strange pics be a 2-4 days

If it were me, i'd remove the quad shocks too.
