Hi All I saw a post from 2016 and BlueBird428 had a good discussion going on replacing front springs and rear leafs. My 68 400HO (no a/c) is a 50 year old lazy bones and is nearly dragging her belly. I will admit I like the lower look. Aggressive, but don't want to body surf.
I need to replace shocks and springs, but get the height just a little lower than spec. I did see that one poster mentioned that springs should outlast the car, so I'm wondering if maybe its just shocks I need. I know that's a definite because the nose bobs relatively easily when I sit on the fender. Should I even need new coils?
I saw all the conflicting, or at east differing, results from people's preferences to published specs. So at risk of re-opening that can of worms from '16, what was the final purchase, and where did your stance finish up at from the ground to fender lip?
'68 400HO Coupe, 4 spd, 259 interior, Windward Blue. My other car's a Johnson 15 outboard on a '61 Starcraft rowboat... Just sayin'.
