I should have gone back to check the original post... I see you're questions are about your '69 Camaro -- not the Mustang in the avatar.

Either way - What I have said above is the same.... you have to "set" the stance you want FIRST - then order shocks and or coil overs / springs to fit that rather than try to adjust a too long set to make it sit lower.

There are so many '69 Camaro builds on here - it should be fairly easy to find a thread with a build you like -- and ask the builder / owner how they got there.

Although - there are plenty of people that have ordered them all wrong and learned the hard way that there are a few things to consider BEFORE you order... I know I have at least two complete sets (4 ea) on the shelf from a couple builds that either changed along the way - or didn't sit quite right!

Spring rate - and LENGTH is just as important as the length of the shock they're going on or around.... Most of the shops and manufacturers that sell this stuff should be more than happy to help guide you thru the process. I seriously doubt you're doing anything "new" regarding what look you're trying achieve.
