Default Re: "lil red" 1965 Mercury Comet Caliente

Guys,
John helped me put the redesigned rear leaf springs. It reset the rear of the car about 1.5 inch lower. Shackles are more in the slight rear direction as desired when we set the weight of the car on the springs. The shocks now have a 1.5 inch of stroke. That should provide a much better ride.

Regards,
Chris and Cheryl
