Well... sorry i haven't been on much guys and gals but, single life is taken some getting used too...lol. Since putting on the drag springs in the front i've been riding around waiting for the springs to settle so i could lower my ride well.... time has came and was wondering what ya'll thought ? It ended up get lower 3 3/4"s all the way around. I'm thinking of also putting 17" rims all the way around and removing the rollbars as so i can replace the dash but..that will have to wait for now. Still slow but, i'm working on something for that too. I'm looking for opinions on rim choice or wether I should leave her as is i dunno really know what would look good on her any ideas? well... here's the before and after pics......
P.S. for those wondering about the way the rear looks it has camaro leafs on it working on that too. lol

You wanted to lower it more? :confused: You must have better streets than I do!

Did it lower that much just from the springs settling?

Mine hasnt settled at all, im swapping out the 4x4 springs again.
Id leave those wheels, looks good. I dont think muscle car era cars look good with 17" or bigger rims, they just dont fit the car....wrong era.

Thanx guys. 68chevyII I had put the drag springs on a few months ago and when i did the front was raise all the way after a few weeks the front settled about an 1" 1/2 and that is the first pic after it had settled the after pics are from cutting 2 1/8 coils off of the front springs leaving me 1/4" off of the rubber snubbers. I drove all day today and it rides so much better with the rear lowered as well. As far as wheels I'm thinking of going with the old torque thrusts w/ gray centers but I dont know if they would look good on a yeller car lol.

I liked it raised up. It looks good down low too though :cool: . You have a good look with the wheels you have but I have always liked Torque Thrusts too :cool: .

Is it an automotive sin to like cars that sit high?
I like it jacked up:)
