    Car lower on drivers side

    I cut both spring the same amount I thought but my drivers side is 3/4" lower than the passenger. Is there a spacer I can get or do I need a new spring?  I have grab a trac 620's on a 66 fastback.

    Are you sure you got them seated correctly on the spring perch. And yes they have spacers that go on the top side of the spring.

    Isn't every Mustang lower on the left side?

    As Steve-G said be sure you have them seated correctly on the spring perch before adding spacers as that can definitely effect height.

    If you still think you need a spacer keep this in mind... I once read somewhere that a 1"  spacer would result in 2" of lift... not sure why that is...just passing it along.

    Have you rolled the car around so the sispension can settle?
