Went from 220mm length 8k springs to 180mm length 7k springs on my front coilovers. Shooting for a little softer ride and clearance for the new set of wheels.

Just finished adjusting the ride height and haven't taken it for a spin yet! Will report back.
Ok. You can stay.
I have Feal coil overs and need softer springs

On my '06 I ran no cats with Pypes Violators. It was loud, too loud actually. I ended up putting some M80s offset in front of the rear axle, that tamed it down quite a bit and the offset helped with drone.
My LTs, O/R X, MBRP street setup without cats is ridiculous but tame inside the car.
I need to do the same thing but for tire to coil over clearance.

Took the car for a little grocery run. The front feels great. I have yet to go corner carving or top speed chasing with the 7k springs but city streets are noticeably less harsh. I had never seen the Feal coilovers before. They look like a good quality upgrade from my BC coilovers. I like that you can run a coilover rear shock or factory location springs. I like having my rear spring in the stock location for NVH sake, but unfortunately the springs are proprietary and only come in 5k. Also the Feal comes with an 8k spring in the front. I will give you another update after driving the car hard. Might be a while, I got snowed on coming home from shopping!
I'll send you a post on Instagram, it's where I got the idea. You can see the clean section of thread on my struts so it moved the spring perch up considerably. I test fit the new wheels again and I think that should take care of the clearance issue. The inner lip was ~2mm from the spring.
Thanks bother, the Feals are really the same as bc in the fronts but the rears are different
Had them on my subaru wrx and Sti. Loved them but on the mustang it’s a little ruff

Had a little time to kill. Made a section of hardline on the firewall to replace a good portion of the full length soft line for the hydraulic clutch. Eliminates the chance of the softline snagging on something, being tighter to the sheet metal and all. I'll get some more pics of the completed setup now that I got the engine/trans back in and everything cinched down.
Also got a little bored and heat wrapped the Coyote swap X-pipe.

Thanks.
Tomorrow (or more likely Friday) I get to see if all the hard work and chasing problems to their ends was all worth it. Or, failing that, figure out whatever else might be wrong.
Seems like I've done "First Fire" about three times now only to have to investigate problems. First one involved some brain power (wiring issue in the engine harness) but was found in a day. Second one was the dreaded incompatibility of two aftermarket vendors' products that needed basically a surgically-custom fix, again another day's work.
But having to essentially tear everything down to inspect/fix and then build it all back up again is the doozy. And it all pivots around the fact that the BBK swap longtubes curl so tightly around the bellhousing. The only solution to do major work is to drop the entire K-frame with everything on it, lol.
Makes for damn good practice and experience though. Sharpens you up like nothing else.

Changed the oil with 9 quarts of Joe Gibbs FR50 goodness. Doesn’t make noise on cold starts anymore and just seems happier. Also, dropped the idle to 650 rpm’s.
