So, I've Purchased Some 02 and 03 SS Springs from a Member here for My Sagging '65 Cuda.
I'm told that My Front Spring Hangers Won't Work with them...
What do I need and Where do I Find Them?
My Stock Rear Hangers Will Work?

Why wouldn't they work? The only reason I know of is, if you are incapable of enlarging the spring holes to 5/8". Other than that, they're fine.

That's It? Okay... yeah, of coarse I have 5/8" bit's and a drill press.
I thought they were maybe thicker/wider than stock. Tanx tripleR!

I put them on my 64 dart. I don't remember any problems, but that was over 35yrs ago, and I've slept since then. I do remember it lifted the back of the car more than I'd like. I think you can turn the front spring hangers upside down to reduce the lift.
 
I agree with other posters. I put them on my '62 Signet Drag car and only had to enlarge the spring mounting hole in the front hanger. Easy enough. It did raise the rear on my particular car up some so perhaps the advantage of the Mancini hanger and it's twin mounting holes is that you could get closer to a stock ride height.
