    Changed the sway bar link bushings on the Maverick, car sits a bit higher in the front now. Will probably take the Comet to heat the front springs in a couple of days, looking for a 1" or so drop up front.

    Never heat springs. You do better by cutting off a coil...with a saw or cut-off wheel

    Have you gotten any estimates on that C4 rebuild & will it be a "stock" rebuild (no additional clutches in the clutch pac, no more springs?).
