The rears will be tight, but that's basically the same size I'm running on an 8" wheel. I did have to move my shock up some, since I used the original style mono leaf shock mount. I also cut the inner finder lip before the car was painted, not sure if that really needed to be done though.

I also ran a 1" lowering block to get my ride height. Cut the springs in the front to get it where I wanted it. Guldstrand mod in the front, Hotchkis front sway bar and Hotchkis/Bilstien shocks front and rear.

Where did you find the blocks? I searched Summit's inventory with no luck specifically for Nova. Is there another vehicle's spring that is compatible? Not sure where else to look.

And does it ride rough with the cut springs in front? Do the Hotchkis/Bilstein shocks help cure the rough ride?
