Well, I've decided (almost a year after the fact) that I'm ready to switch the springs. I spent last night examining the spindle and control arm assembly, and think I'm ready to do it, although naturally, not without questions!

I like Don's idea, but since I don't have access to that sort of tool, I will go the spring compressor route. If I do that, can I leave the shock in place to keep the spring from jumping out of its mount if the compressor isn't put on right? Also, it looks like I should be able to undo the bottom spindle castle nut to drop the lower control arm - is this right, and when it's time to put it back, can someone tell me what the torque specs are for that bolt (standard MustangII setup)?

Thanks,
