Finally got the Mach-Ete lowered!
.
It took me roughly 5 months to get this project from start to finish. I started with a 1.5" lowering concept. This would be enough drop to hunker the car down visually and not overwhelm the OEM shocks.
.
Two key factors were also considered. First was keeping the ride quality of OEM. The second factor was utility. Many will use thise cars to haul people, luggage, or a trip to costco. I made some adjustments to the rear spring to give a slight rake. This gives the car a litte more sport look, but most importatly keeps the rear from sagging when loaded down.
.
Took the car on a 200 mile trip the other day and it was great. I have two sets of 1" lowering springs on hand if anyone wants to snag them too.
