Hi, Not sure if I'm posting in the right place, and not trying to hijack this thread. But I'm restoring (frame up) my 78. Of course starting with the suspension. I want the best possible handling. I'm not looking to race this car. I have been looking at a few kits this one
http://umiperformance.com/catalog/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=8_265_425&products_id=1117 and a piece together kit from spohn Sry it is a long list.. Can someone with more knowledge than myself 1-Which kit is a better one to go with, and 2- if I lower with either 1 or 2 inches will I have alignment/handling issues ? Thanks and here's the 2nd list.
