I haven’t built a Fusion yet, but to fix the stance of a Chevy SS i did the following:

1. Removed the front brakes (result: pulled the wheels in)
2. Removed the air cleaner (result: lowered how the body sat on the chassis)
3. Removed the flat tabs to the front of the top of the dash (result: lowered how the body sat on the chassis)

I was ok with doing #1 but less than happy about #s 2 & 3, especially #2.

But it gives me perspective on when i build the next one... hopefully i can just mount the front wheels a little higher up on the suspension instead.

I did watch that video a few days ago. I am considering shaving down where the front wheels attach and maybe seeing if i can use my pin vise to drill a hole a little bit higher up from the original and cutting the rear springs down like the video showed. Maybe then i won’t have to lower how the body sits via the tabs and air cleaner removal.
