My car is running a traditional SBC with aluminum heads and intake along with a 4L60E transmission.

For the front suspension, I have the Speedtech ATS/Chicane upper coilover mounts for a stock subframe. I have the single adjustable 5.2" stroke coilovers with 700# 10" springs with spring drop cups. The reason I went with the 10" spring and the drop cup was that the upper coilover was too close to the upper mount to my liking, so I hence the drop cups.

The rear I'm running a factory 12 bolt with the Airbar and 5.2" stroke single adjustable coilovers and 200# 12" springs. I have the lower shock mount moved to the lowest two mounting holes on the bracket. That forces the lower shock mount to hang below the mount, but it gives me my desired ride height. I originally mounted it up one position, but the car sat entirely too high.

The front mockup strut is 13 5/8" in length at my desired ride height and the rear is what the Airbar instructions said to make it at, which I believe was around 14 1/4". You can see my desired ride height mocked up in the pictures.

Thanks for the replies
