I have finished mini tubbing my car. I have the new shock mount in between the frame rails. My question is how do I figure out what size shock that I need? Or any one already have this done and can tell me what they used? I have mono springs and they are moved inboard with kit from jegs. Any help would be great. Thanks

All I can think of is measure the mount to mount distance at ride height, go to a real parts store, not Advance Auto but NAPA or similair, and they should be able to look up a shock with the proper mounts and lenght to use. Stock shocks are 50/50 which is OK for a street ride. If you mount them straight up and down they will act stiffer than if you mount them at say a 15 degree angle. That's what I'd do if it was me.

Have you looked at the mini tub pix from my car? Mine sits lower than stock and the Nova shocks were too long, so I bought Camaro units--also too long.
I made my own mounts and the shocks go thru holes in the trunk.
Go to my site and scroll down to "My Nova" to see how we did it.It was a pretty easy project; I welded mine on, but the way I built them they could also be just bolted on. http://bowtie0069.fotki.com/
