Lowering a 67 dart

A slightly more sophisticated way to lower the rear is described in Tom Condran's book. Replace the front spring hangers with one with the shackle hole located higher up (don't just flip the stock ones over -- that creates other problems). One inch at this location lowers the car more like 2 inches. I think somebody actually sells lowering hangers with 3 sets of holes so you can pick your height. I don't know if it's MP or FirmFeel or...?

Also, if you crank down the front adjusters enough to lower the car an inch, you had better have it realigned. The camber at least will be way out. And your suspension travel (to the bump stop) wil be almost nonexistent (BTDT). A drop spindle or a sectioned LCA is a better longterm solution.
