Read somewhere that Bronco coil springs will fit/work in a '56 Fairlane. 
If true, what year Bronco springs should I order.
 Article also said that the Bronco springs lower the front end a little, this 
is not a problem, a little lower front end will look good.
Thanks in advance for your feed back,

If you search this site for Aerostar springs, you will find a lot of posts from people who have done that conversion.

Detroit Spring sells originals. As well as Macs and most of the other Vintage Repro Parts Sellers. I have never heard of using Bronco Springs. Aerostar Yes.

  

Thanks a ton for the Aerostar suggestion. I was confussed between Bronco and Aerostar.

I was confused, age might have something to do with being confused. It was Ford Aerostar springs I heard or read about.
Now I looking to buy the Aerostar spring set that gives a little lower front end profile. Might make it easier to see over the steering wheel without pitting 2 cushions on the seat.

This post would be a good place to start.

As you can read on the above thread. I used the Aerostars The urethane spacers for the top were for a Toyota pickup because of the diameter. Ford has a thin spacer like shim on the the top and I sure it's for noise. Normal flat street and highway ride is nice.
One thing about the Aerostars is they a compound wound and react different when hitting a dip in the road. I have good shocks but if your not careful and run into going a little fast it will bottom quicker that you can react. I don't remember the stockers doing that and cutting two coils off the bottom will give you the same look but not the same ride.... Good Luck

Not a real fan of the Aerostar springs , I'd be happy with my cut springs again.
