another lowering question

[one mile]

I want to lower my daughters 1965 Barracuda. I put polygraphite bushings on rear Springs and want to do the simple spring Bracket "Flip" and need to know if there is enough adjustment on the front to meet this change. I have Firm Feel Upper Control Arms and Front end Kit. I don't think it will lower it much overall,but I have read alot of older Posts with mixed opinions on this and need to ask for myself. It will be her DD and would need to clear speed bumps and "Stuff". Should I put a little "rake on it?

It's not a simple flip of the hanger as the studs are NOT in a rectangle. My 67 convertible had the hangers flipped when I got it. Those hangers are gone and correct stock ones are in their place...

these pics are when my car was lowered with the Firmfeel adjustable rear hangars. i liked them but my back tires rubbed just a little on bumps and hard corners so i raised it back to stock location for now.

Thanks Jim, I understand that it is not just a simple Flip but I was wondering how much to really expect it to lower the Car with the stock springs and if there is enough adjustment in the front end to properly adjust for it. I have read about the 4 degree shim also. Pauly your Car looks great sitting that low sorry you had to raise it back up. Got any pics. of the Firm Feel Brackets? How much diff. does it make compared to the "Flip" on her Barracuda ? I am on a tight $ as to what the WIFE says. (Went to Firm Feel's Web site and did not see them) Thanks for the Input !
