    Default Fairmont Coilover to factory shock mounts

    Will these work http://www.uprproducts.com/mustang-r...eavy-duty.html and allow me to run these http://secure.chassisshop.com/partde...16-1906-SPA-1/ without having to narrow it up or will i need to buy a drop bracket so it sits further down i havnt crawled under the car to check the factory shock length but just checking ahead of time either way i got a damn good deal on the coilovers so ill find a way to use them

    Because noone does it....seriously there's no reason too. Get a strange rear shock, double adjustable, and a Factory spring, less than what you will pay for just one coil over.. Plenty of cars been very fast that way. I had Lakewood 50/50 on the back of my car, with a stock high mile spring cut down for ride height adjustment and went deep into the tens no problem. Seen plenty of cars go 9's and faster this way too Also i don't trust the factory upper shock mount to take that kind of weight/abuse.

    Wolfe also sells the threaded spring perch's that go in the factory location and use coilover style springs. I think you get a couple inches of height adjustment with them.
