Back at the suspension again, after lowering with the coilovers there wasn't enough travel , so this past weekend i raised the coilovers 1 inch and installed some 2 inch drop coils, and while there changed the wheel bearing, rotors, and brake lines, and a little painting on the calipers.

Now on with the suspension.
I put on some 2" lowering springs in the the rear for a A body from cpp and some kyb shocks . Was a little nervous about the springs .
View attachment 59970 the unsprung height difference is about 2 inches .
But on the car they did what i wanted View attachment 59977 View attachment 59979
Now i did order the viking coil overs, new upper control arms , tall upper ball joints and a compete front end rebuild kit to tackle the sloppy steering . Now just to find the time to get that installed.

Nice car I like the wheels what are they?

You're doing it backwards. Everybody knows you need insane power before brakes, suspension, etc., etc.....

Seriously, that's a good strategy. What are your plans for a transmission?
