Has anyone on here done the drop or know if its done following the instructions for a 65-66 stang or the 67-73 plans?

I still don't know of anyone who has done this on a Maverick. It is very tempting  I think it has been done to a falcon, anyone??

Well your going to know someone before long!
I'm doing my son's 68 stang very soon with new 620 springs and I will be taking notes. Then the Mav.will be next. I still want to go through inspection before I rip it apart.

my $0.02
I think i would follow the late 67-73 instructions the difference 65-66 siangs did not have adjustable strut rods. and you had to add shims behind A-arms to set caster -camber ,in 1967 they went to adjustable strut rods and adjustable lower arms ,the same as you have in your Maverick 1" streight down

i believe either lowering set up will work. i know the early maverick's have the same bolt spacing on the upper arm pivot bolts as the 65-66 mustang(or so i am led to believe) because the global west upper arm kit for the maverick has the same part number as the mustang(65-66).

I did it on the 65 and WOW! It was done at the same time with new tires, front end parts and a rear anti sway bar. I used the branda specs. ------------------
