Are any of you guys running a coilover shock setup on your Torinos? If so please post some pictures and (or) details about the setup.
 
Thanks!

is it possible to run coilovers,  wouldnt that be cool to have coil overs inside coils in the front.  Or is this for the back.

Not sure if it would be possible for the front. I haven't had the front end on the car apart to really check out the geometry. I was refering to the rear, sorry I should have specified. I know that on my 91 Mustang the coilover setup is very easy to setup, the weight is basically held by the stock shock brackets. I'm wondering if the shock brackets on our 72's can support the weight of our cars. Or would coilover specific brackets have to be welded onto the housing?
