Decided to post a few pics after installing new lowering springs.







Thats it!

You could have made this post a little more useful by telling us which of the dozen or so available springs you went with.

Car looks nice. I remember when my old slicktop was that color.

B&G 1.25 drop. 76126 front and 76127 rear. Thanks for the compliment.

Are the B&Gs nice? Are you satified with them? I'm thinking of adjustables coil-over for mine. But yours stance looks good!

I like em. I think the car handles much better. I'd say about 40% less body roll.(just a guess) I'd buy them again. Low cost alternative to coil overs.

That's would be impressive considering the B&G springs are less than 10% stiffer in the front and only about 20% in the rear. But I guess it's possible when you consider the original springs would have been over 20 years old now.

Did you change anything else at the same time? Like bushings or shocks?

Yeah AZ-bum,you may be right. Like I said, it was just a guess. I'm not exactly sure how I would test for, before and after body roll, other than doing a physical load test on the old coil springs. Now who has the equipment to do that test other than a spring manufacturer? Not sure. I was trying to give a conservative figure. The rear is definitly more stiff than the front...and the front seemed to drop more than the rear,which would make sence. Thanks for your input. Your welcome to come and take it for a spin if your ever in the nieghborhood!
