Here is a photo of my original stock 57 Tbird spring standing next to the CC850 Aerostar spring from Rockauto. The standing free height difference is substantial. Is this what others have found? I thought I had cut the original springs but looking them over I didn't when I replaced them 7(?) years ago. Any comments will help. Don't want to make a mistake putting this on with the Granada spindles.

You're right it's cold here at the beach too. Turned on my garden hose this morning and these clear cylinder shaped things came out. Danged if it didn't get cold enough to freeze the water in the hose last night.
Checked my radiator after that. I only have distilled water in the '55. Guess it didn't get cold enough in the garage. Wrenches are dang cold tho.
