first things first, I painted the inner fender well, it looks better than the pic. the pics picks up what looks like specks and holes, must be the light reflection.



now on to the springs. I used 1" lowered mustang springs for a 65-66 stang.
this kind of compresser worked pretty good and you can see how much you need to compress to get them in.



i found that once you get them in place, use a floor jack to lift the lower A arm until it compress the spring just a little, then back off the spring compressor, make sure the top is positioned corectly, you only want to do this once.

.

had a little trouble figuring out the caliper and pad set-up from the granada, they dont give you very good pictures in the instructions, the little spring clip cost me almost an hour to figure out. but it goes like this.





the rest is pretty simple.





now im off to the tire store to get new wheels and tires. next week, ill start the brake line bending and install the proportioning valve....i hope
