| You obviously didn't read what I wrote Greg. Read it again. Drop spindles and lower the rear. You can set it back if necessary. I hope you lower it low enough to rub your balls on the pavement. | |

| That was funny! Good one Dann! But you are right, drop spindles to maintain your ride up front and adjust the torsion rods in the back. Pretty standard and economical. Otherwise BAG IT! | |

| I'm going to be using a 4" narrowed beam, 2.5" dropped spindles and 1 outer spline in the rear. I want it lowered but not slammed. And I will be using a spare beam, not my original. Anything I change or modify on this car will be able to be put back to stock easily. I don't like modifications beyond repair. (But let's all make Kyle think that I'm chopping the top and making the doors open up "suicide style" ) it'll be soooo funny! | |

| I saw that. They're off of a '65 though (Link Pin) and I need Ball Joint style. | |

| I hate to say this but I raised my car today. I was sick of zero clearance. When I was turboed I did not have a normal exhaust tons of ground clearance not now. Mondo was not happy. | |

| I have to admit that my '64 was a little too low for me even. It looked cool as hell but I shredded a pine cone on West Capitol Ave for God's sake! That's too low for me! | |
