Default Re: "lil red" 1965 Mercury Comet Caliente

folks,
Atch, yes they di raise it more than I expected. May live with it/ Its not a bad look and with the front higher it sets pretty close.
KULTULZ,
I did get back to Eaton they are very knowledgeable. I asked for two inches higher than stock. If you look at the brochure pictures this is about 5 inches higher.
They said to push the spring eye back to get the shackle angled back. Doesn't work on these springs More arch in them. I may call them again.
Also Local spring shop could de-arch them if needed.
I am not loosing any sleep over it and several folks at shows have said leave it alone they like it.
Got my new Merc Man hub centers from Auto Krafters. They should work fine!
Regards,
Chris and Cheryl
