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.

Back at work on the Tbird disc brake swap. Have everything in place; Granada front spindles and rotors/calipers, Aerostar springs, dual manual master cylinder, Wilwood prop valve, battery relocated, etc. Just have to bleed the brakes and see if it all works tomorrow morning. Does anyone have a source for rear axle lowering blocks/U Bolts?. Also I trimmed the front lower A arm frame bumpers but would like to find an aftermarket set that could do a better looking job.

Speedway has what I want. I always try to get stuff from Summit. It is always on the front porch the next day after I order but they didn't show much this time. There warehouse is in Reno, so very quick shipping to me here. I will order from Speedway but takes much longer. Thanks.

Got the brakes bled...finally and now have brakes indeed. Backed it out of the garage then up and down the driveway to make sure no disasters were pending. Due to the Aerostar springs and the drop using the Granada spindles it is low in the front. Had a penguin stance though and spent the afternoon re-setting the alignment. Took it out on the road and it stops just fine without power brakes, very nice. Not so good getting into the driveway or turns. Too low...Aerostar springs are coming out and the original springs I had in it going back in for test drive number two.

Did you take any pictures of the car before you removed the aero springs? Would you take some "after" you get the orgional springs in and post them? I would love to see how low "too low" is.
