I want to lower my Thunderbird but I can't find any lowering springs what do I use to lower it from what car. I want the front lower then the back like example 2" in the front and 1.5" in the back. And I want the rear control arm kit for the rear end. I know they call them te torque box. I herd that they are a weak point. I always do suspension work first I like to getsuspension out-of-the-way I'm a little disappointed that the Thunderbird doesn't have a supporting suspension set up for our cars so if anybody can please help me out on what I can buy from what different car to put on my card really appreciate it

The search function is your friend. One company makes a full set of rear control arms for the T-Birds and Cougars and several guys here run them website is here:
