No one. Funny that you ask because it appeared that you did your homework on what was available for these rigs.

Shorter springs would result in significant negative camber. These aren't bowties.

You're looking at either DJM or AIM beams, a Mustang II-style IFS (Fatman Fab, Heidt's, etc.) or an 03 and newer Crown Vic/Marquis swap.

But you said in your other thread that DJM beams are "junk".. Would you care to explain what lead you to that conclusion? Or are ya gonna ignore your thread and simply start another one?

Here's a link to your other thread in case you forgot about it: http://www.fordification.com/forum/view ... =5&t=72957

That's the problem... gullibility. That and participants who don't do research. Instead, they want an instant answer to everything without having any skin in the game.

'Having a great day. THANKS! :D
