Re: LOWERING QUESTION

If you don't mind the front coil springs getting stiffer the easy way to lower the front suspension is to cut the coil.  One end of the springs cant be cut but the other can.  Its not the best option but it does work.  Another way to do it would be to install coil overs like I did.  As to the rear that is a bunch harder.  If it was a leaf spring car some lowering blocks would do the job but it seams to me in 65 Ford went to coils in the rear too and I do not believe they can be cut.  Your next best option would be to find a shorter replacement spring that fits.
