1969 Suspension
 
Hi guys, I just bought a 1969 coupe with a 351W in it. I would like to drop the front end a couple of inches and an inch in the rear. The rear is easy to do with blocks but not sure on the front.

I don't mind spending the money to do it correct. Does anybody know which direction to go with this. I start to research parts online but there is so much conflicting info that it just ends up confusing me.

I am looking for some tips on brands and places to go check out as far as parts and whatnot in the lower mainland.

Welcome, I'm not the expert, but I think lowering is simply a matter of new springs. Check some of the site sponsors, CJ's might have what you need, and probably a video to go with it maybe.

I would do the UCA drop and install a 1" Drop coil. This is the easiest way to drop the front and cheapest.
DazeCars, Shelby Drop, Klaus Arning drop, upper control arm drop, Falcon, Mustang, Cougar 60-70
Here is a link on the drop.
As for parts try here:
The Mustang Shop - Performance, Restoration, & Classic Mustang Parts
They are in Calgary and will ship, pricing is very good.
Here is a picture with this drop in my 68, and my rear is dropped 1" with a mid eye leaf spring.
