What I e been running for 2 years!! Same no issues😎
I've always wanted a fox body and am now finally planning on picking one up. I originally wanted a notch, but after watching hundreds of videos and finding your channel and seeing all your cars, I have decided this car is exactly what i want. An lx or gt hatch , calypso green, with saleen sc wheels. Its perfect. Thank you.
Always nice to see Andrew's Fox's on the channel. Glad your theory about the rear suspension worked out. Between watching yours and neomustangs channel.... I'll never waste $ buying lowering springs again. I'm cutting em from now on.
The beginning of thos was the cutest thing I have ever heard. Stock springs for the win. Love the stance. Andrew's Casper sounds wicked
Everyone kept looking at me crazy when I was upgrading my rear last year and stayed with stock location springs... Glad I went with my gut and ignored the upgrade everything trolls .Still curious to hear Andrews thoughts on them Viking's he's been keeping in stock for you. Now get out there and DRIVE that turbo beauty 🍻🤘
The stangs that made them so popular! Glad I still own mine! 93 Lx Highly modified! Great video brother! Thanks for sharing!
Wow! Sorry I haven't caught up for a while but the calypso with the Wheels combo you have on it now is absolutely perfect the best yet the car is never looked better!👍

I've experienced a similar situation with a fox body that had a spool & off brand lowering springs . It was very noisy & would shake drastically . I installed some polyurethane isolators & they solve the problem . Thank You 🇺🇲🇵🇷🦊👍

EastBama tapping in!!! Imma be str8 up witcha my dude, didn't really think (in my opinion of course) u was making a mistake by swapping those wheels, but calypso was looking soo sharp, but the more i see those rims the more i like them shitz!! Luv the ch, nvr miss a video bc im green as a whole entire pile of green shit when it comes to fxbdys. Had to find out the hard way that my car is 30 years old, and im not evn a half the shade tree fxbdy mechanic as i thought I would be and ur ch along with a few other popular fxbdy ch has helped my confidence to keep pushing forward on my car opposed to giving up and selling. I just wanted to pass that little bit of info to you, because I know I like getting Pats on the back and I would assume that you would too. I really think that you do way more for people than you actually realize. Hopefully I will have an opportunity to meet you And a few others at a ford take ovr event or something. So I can tell you that in person!! 🙏🙏

Also kinda semi personal question, but if u don't mind, what is the dimensions and price did it take to build a shop like that? Not all of your tools and equipment, Just the building itself??
I totally agree with you I got a complete set of maximum Motorsport coilovers sitting on Bilstein shocks totaling close to $1,800 and it rides like crap not to mention when you turn the wheel full lock you can hear the springs twisting and clunking. I miss my stock springs. What I'm going to do is remove the coilover from the shocks and keep the Bilstein shocks but put the factory springs back in to the factory location
Been drooling on those wheels since they hit LMR. I have a red 86 convertible I'm hoping they look good on. After this video, definitely goin with 18s👌. The ride height is perfect as far as I'm concerned.
I really like the way it sits. The stance looks bad ass.
Cool video! Love the car!
Amazing Video

One issue could be running those solid/rod end upper and lower control arms, with no rubber back there it's going to make that spool really bind up the rear suspension

This is a good video cause it probably saved me some money. Ive got koni orange shocks in the back with a lowering spring, and up front koni orange with upr coilover kit with upr cc plates and it sits perfect. However i can vouch for ride quality yet due to the car still being worked on.

True Hotrod! They work better with a non locked diff. Just be sure to go with a light rear spring. Most are way to stiff imo
Now your on basically the same setup as me other than I have the team Z drag spring. I used to run the 1 coil cut GT spring it sit slightly higher
Eaton Truetrak is the best unless you can stand the Detroit Locker. I've done welded and spools and they are not good on the street. Lots of binding and jerking tire slippage. Truetrak is my favorite.

I'm wrapping up my 1979 mustang coupe build and have done a complete aftermarket suspension swap .. upr k member kit w coilovers up front upr uppers n lowers with adjustable upr struts up front and adjustable shocks in back .. I often wonders n looked on eBay trying to figure out what I was gonna do for rear springs after seeing this video and a few others I'm bout half way convinced I need to go dig the old 4 cyl springs out of the shed and cut a coil off them and use them .. my car should be pushing around 750 hp I have a trans brake and plan on running around my small town here in east Tn and heading out to the local dragstrip on Friday night and see who all I can outrun .. so hard launches are important and you know how hilly and curvy the roads are here in east Tn so that's why all the suspension adjustability .. can you suggest a rear springs that will be better ?? This car has set for 7 years and I added up how much money I have spent a couple years ago and I was over 15k so I guess I could say money is no issue .. btw I haven't done one thing to body and paint so it's all go fast goodies ..lol
Calypso looks sweet.
I have the same set up installed taller springs etc I hated every moment I too went back to stick springs upr should tell people it’s terrible. They should of made a cone that fits solid in the hole so the shock won’t swim around
Definitely need to cut my springs. Even with my eibach sportlines it still sits an inch to high

Hey @brew2l. I’m doing a budget build and I’m hoping to run a 255/60/15 on some convo pro series. When doing the rear spring should I cut 1 coil or do the coil and a half you did on your other video with cutting springs
With a spool and solid suspension somethings going to give in tight turns. It looks like your "weak" link or noisy link is the coil overs

Just need the front 1 inch lower than the back then it would be a 10 looks great
I've ran coilovers on the front of my car for years but have always leary of running them on the rear. I guess it's because I just don't know that much about them.
Too low for me, looks damn good, but need some good springs for it but it'll drag everywhere
Why would you run a spool on a daily driver with Street tires?
👍
I know it's an old video but what size is that wheel?? Thanks
I'm lowering my 64 pontiac bonneville 2 " , will this affect my turning ability ?
Whats the highest rpm you'd go in a stock fox?
What size rims are you running.
Coil is in front of the SRA on control arm and not attached directly to the SRA
What kind of wheels are these?
Beautiful fox body ,Cobra or not.
Still rocking the 2.3 suspension lol 😆 I'm fat enough to lower it myself lmao

sometimes suspension gets too complicated when simple is the right answer. Look at the street racing channel and there s10 that runs 130mph in the 1/8 on bare asphalt with mostly stock suspension. Here is a video where they show the suspension. kzread.info/dash/bejne/eWWE1tdxkdCopdI.html
