rear coils
i had a set of coils from a 70 chevelle that i used in the rear. the chevelle springs has 5 coils and is 9/16" round and the orignal ones are 3/4" round with 7 coils. i am thinking with a block 1 or 2 inches thick it will drop 3 to 4 inches. this way i may get away without relocating my shocks. dont know about shimming for pinion angle. what do some of you think about this.

Re: rear coils
Drop spring are pretty cheap, they will keep the geometry and load capabilities.

Re: rear coils
if you can find a set of springs out of the 68 up el camino you will have a good option as well, thats what i did for my 64 .the springs alone are only gonna give you a 2 inch drop max
