You make a hole for the shaft through the inner fenders and extend it's location. Obviously there are different ways to accomplish this, you can do something similar to what ford did, and make a little mount that bolts to the stock inner fender and extends the upper mount a little higher to gain some compressed length. Or the better stiffer stronger way is to weld in some chassis tubing, cut out the inner fenders and mount the shocks to them.

Lets be clear on this, the shocks have the same if not more travel length than the vehicle needs, the compressed and extended are simply longer. Oh and the rears will bolt in with little more than heim spacers.

I got these at a swap meet (of course) from a guy with a early mustang setup for track days. They are long too. Now I understand why. Thank you Coke_Bottle_Kid for the explanation.

Also if you set up your car for these longer shocks and mounting style, you will way open up the choices for shocks to all the racing standard stuff for your car and the price will be lower due to volume.



Coke_Bottle_Kid, do this look like a good Dyno curve for a road racing front shock?

Did this on a Maxwell Dyno we have for our circle track team:
