In Reply to: Cowl hood and lowering techniques for 76 V8 Maverick posted by Matt on April 16, 2001 at 11:42:14:
The only "proper" way to lower the front of the car is to cut 1.5 coils off the coil springs...this will not only lower the front but also make the springs stiffer. The rear leaf springs, unless you have replaced them are probably already "sagging" from age as the metal fatigues....You might try Unlimited Products for the cowl hood...not sure if they have that style or the kind with the front scoop, but it may be worth a shot...
: I need to purchase a fiberglass cowl hood for my Maverick.. It can be a lift off hood. It must at least be a 1.5" tall cowl.

: I would also like to lower the car a little for better handling and looks. How have you guys and gals done this to your cars?
: Thanks for your help.
