[FC] Front coils

[Merv Krull]

When you had the rear set in, was the GB level or slightly higher at the
rear? Are the Mustang springs the same or slightly higher/lower than
original? Did the rear springs cause the rear wheels to appear too canted or
just a little? I still haven't tried them in my GB yet. As it sits now, the
back end on mine looks too low, definitely lower than the front, but the
rear wheels look straight up and down. When I measure everything, the front
on mine is actually almost an inch lower than spec, and the rear is nearly 3
inches lower than spec. My hunch is that the rear wheels are supposed to be
canted slightly at curb weight.
Anyone know for sure?
I am shooting for level, but I would prefer slightly lower front end.
