Springs ??
Arning/Shelby Suspension Drop
Ed.: Nice photo, scootchu. Wish mine looked that good. Well, it does from one side, but even that'll change soon.
Hi,
I am re-doing my suspension and already bought my KYB shocks. Now it's time to pick out my new coil and leaf springs. I am thinking about buying them with a 1" drop. I have a Inline 6 and just wondering if anyone thinks it's worth spending extra $$ or should I just go with stock stuff. I am eventually going to put the American Racing Wheels (Ansen Sprint) 15x7 on the car to give it a better look. Ideas, thoughts, concerns?

I dropped my '66 1" all around, and I really liked it. There were a couple of speed bumps in town that were a problem, but not many. I used a stock height variable rate spring, and then did the Shelby mod to the upper arm.
I like a variable rate coil spring. Driving down the road you get a nice smooth ride. But in hard corners or emergency manouvers the spring stiffens up. The best of both worlds for a street car.
Be sure and replace the spring perches and insulater pads while you're at it.
I'm using 205/70R14's on styled steel wheels. Excellent road handling, great stance. I put the G/N spring set on years ago, along with the Arning/Shelby drop.

I am happy with the stance though. I lucked out with that.
I don't think I have seen a pic of what you have now 2+2
