    Honestly, I think it’s just right it went to the perfect place and thank God it is finally being driven all these cars that get parked and never used. It’s so terrible for them love this car and the fact that it gets used all well-being cared for those springs will settle as well. Perfect ride height for a daily driver, if it was me, I would put that 7.5 rear on the shelf and put a clean 323 geared 8.8 LSD rear in it then again all the work you just did to the brakes and the fact that she’s not going to beat on the car the 7.5 is more than likely plenty Thoroughly enjoy the videos my friend and got the added bonus of finding the TIP channel through you so thanks for that. I wish I would’ve never sold my fox cars.
    Edit I hope this car does come back the four eyes don’t get enough love 86 is my favourite ! Cheers

    It doesn't look dramatically lower because the old stuff was so worn out but it's definitely a little lower though.
