I kinda like the way it sits now, ok, maybe a little lower in the back.

Re: coilovers... YES PLEASE!!

well compared to the coils, its rougher, but thats expected with the "sport" suspension.. the coilovers are the QA1 coilover conversion kits for muscle cars.

the front is a 77 el camino so i went with the chevelle setup. springs are the 550 lb rate. with the front being a tad over 2100 lbs, thats what they suggested. over winter, i might swap them out for some 450's to see if that softens the ride a bit. anything under 40 mph is a little rough, but above 50 its great.. and even faster at 80... better yet..

as for bumb steer.. virturally gone. body roll has taken a drastic change for the better... still wanting to get a bigger heavy duty front sway bar.. that should take care of the rest of that.

none the less, its the best chunk of change i think ive spent my money on yet.


but as for the rear, plan on doing a flip kit, and a 2 1/4 shackle, then it should drop it about 3-4 inches in the rear. then it should be pretty level. !!!

thanks for the nice comments guys!
