Leaf Springs shipping time is 12 weeks. All of our springs are intended to return the car to factory height. Because of that, installing new springs will almost always increase the height of the rear of the car, as the factory leafs sag over the years. The competition springs will sit slightly lower than standard springs, somewhere between 1/2" and 1" lower. The competition springs cause the car to have a slightly lower the center of gravity and the competition springs are a stiffer spring, so...

Reproduction reinforcement plate designed to weld onto the lower control arms. Sold individually, we are not sure that you would want to even buy one of these. They don't fit very well, and are not contoured to any lower control arm on the market. You will be bending these to fit, prior to welding. *Note - This is a non-returnable item. 

This is an economy version of the lower control arm assembly, with a spot welded on "heavy duty" reinforcing plate. Yes, this is the same "heavy duty reinforced" lower control arm assembly carried by the other parts vendors. We are sorry, but we just cannot recommend this part. The Scott Drake premium version (Part #:26709) of this lower control arm is far superior and basically the same costs. In the picture, you can tell that it is lacking a rolled lip on the outer edge that...

When welded onto the front crossmember properly, these plates will prevent any camber change in hard cornering. This is not needed for the average Cougar owner, but if you are desiring to make your car a "Handling Machine", every bit counts. This combined with our shock...

New pair of weld in shock tower reinforcement plates cut from 11 gauge steel (1/8") for the Mercury Cougar or Ford Mustang. It is common knowledge that one of the main design flaws of the early Cougar or Mustang are the shock towers. Because of this design flaw, it is common (even with pampered, low mile, completely stock cream puffs) for the shock towers to have some degree of cracking as they were never designed to fit an oversized wheel and tire package, be cornered hard or handle the heavy...
