3. Simple spring adjustments to stiffer or softer springs. Each pair (front and rear) cost about $80 if I want to order stiffer springs from QA1.

4. Get rid of the coil bind on the front springs from the original CR Set-up. The way they engineered the front originally and called for cut down stock Ford springs (either Pinto or M2) caused some coil bind on the inner portion of the front springs. I fixed this during my alteration and re-welding of the front shock towers. Now the front shocks and springs travel in a very minimized arc from the original set-up and my front coil bind problem is gone.
Love the pictures. Gives me some ideas.
