Thanks Jim. I'm tellin ya, it really was EASY PEEZIE!!
Thus far I haven't touched ANYTHING but the springs up front and the rear shocks. No spacer, didn't cut the bump stops, even the alignment is good! ( I will keep my eye on the tire ware).
Never felt it bottom out and now I have maybe 50+ miles on it.

I LOVE IT !!!!!!

Good job

Did you shorten the factory bump stops? Every post I have read about the Aerostar springs it was suggested that the bump stops be cut down. This may be why your car was bottoming out ?

Sweet looking good!
I found mine bottoming out pretty easy even with KYB shocks. I think there would be better benefit with a spacer so you can get some of the progressive rate, of course you lose the lowered look..
For you guys at $65 yes its money well spent.

Thanks for the feedback. I was hesitant to buy the tires. Now seeing how good your car looks I can't wait to get mine done.

Thanks Bigwindow, just the stock steel 15x5s. I like em and the 710s are on her now. Great minds think alike!! I am going to to go wider on the back. I have about a inch+ on the inside of the well so I figure I can go a lil wider tire without buying new wheels right now. Just got the air shocks on today and it helped the ride even more in my opinion. Only went up about an inch in the back for this pic.

Getting ready to do the same to my wagon. What wheels and tire size are you using after the drop. I am going to have to replace mine (long story) . I have an original set of 15x5 and was going to run 710-15 www Firestone Deluxe Champions. By the way your car looks awsome!

It is a little stiffer moon shadow, BUT, compared to the" ocean liner " ride she had before... NO COMPARISON!!!
No bottoming out yet and I took some pretty gnarly back country roads to get home. About 18-20 miles. NO ISSUES!!
If this is the only improvement, and let me stress, IMPROVEMENT, that I could do to better her overall ride and handling, well.... I highly recommend ya spend the $65 bucks and do it!!

Hows it take to bumps? I think my ride is a little stiffer and hard bounces. Chuck
