    Always nice to see Andrew's Fox's on the channel.
    Glad your theory about the rear suspension worked out.
    Between watching yours and neomustangs channel.... I'll never waste $ buying lowering springs again. I'm cutting em from now on.

    I've always wanted a fox body and am now finally planning on picking one up. I originally wanted a notch, but after watching hundreds of videos and finding your channel and seeing all your cars, I have decided this car is exactly what i want. An lx or gt hatch , calypso green, with saleen sc wheels. Its perfect. Thank you.

    EastBama tapping in!!! Imma be str8 up witcha my dude, didn't really think (in my opinion of course) u was making a mistake by swapping those wheels, but calypso was looking soo sharp, but the more i see those rims the more i like them shitz!! Luv the ch, nvr miss a video bc im green as a whole entire pile of green shit when it comes to fxbdys. Had to find out the hard way that my car is 30 years old, and im not evn a half the shade tree fxbdy mechanic as i thought I would be and ur ch along with a few other popular fxbdy ch has helped my confidence to keep pushing forward on my car opposed to giving up and selling. I just wanted to pass that little bit of info to you, because I know I like getting Pats on the back and I would assume that you would too. I really think that you do way more for people than you actually realize. Hopefully I will have an opportunity to meet you And a few others at a ford take ovr event or something. So I can tell you that in person!! 🙏🙏

    I totally agree with you I got a complete set of maximum Motorsport coilovers sitting on Bilstein shocks totaling close to $1,800 and it rides like crap not to mention when you turn the wheel full lock you can hear the springs twisting and clunking. I miss my stock springs. What I'm going to do is remove the coilover from the shocks and keep the Bilstein shocks but put the factory springs back in to the factory location

    I'm wrapping up my 1979 mustang coupe build and have done a complete aftermarket suspension swap .. upr k member kit w coilovers up front upr uppers n lowers with adjustable upr struts up front and adjustable shocks in back .. I often wonders n looked on eBay trying to figure out what I was gonna do for rear springs after seeing this video and a few others I'm bout half way convinced I need to go dig the old 4 cyl springs out of the shed and cut a coil off them and use them .. my car should be pushing around 750 hp I have a trans brake and plan on running around my small town here in east Tn and heading out to the local dragstrip on Friday night and see who all I can outrun .. so hard launches are important and you know how hilly and curvy the roads are here in east Tn so that's why all the suspension adjustability .. can you suggest a rear springs that will be better ?? This car has set for 7 years and I added up how much money I have spent a couple years ago and I was over 15k so I guess I could say money is no issue .. btw I haven't done one thing to body and paint so it's all go fast goodies ..lol

    This is a good video cause it probably saved me some money. Ive got koni orange shocks in the back with a lowering spring, and up front koni orange with upr coilover kit with upr cc plates and it sits perfect. However i can vouch for ride quality yet due to the car still being worked on.
