First off, thanks for offering help. There are no marks on the bump stops or the floor. It looks to me like there isn't enough travel in the coil over. It has been suggested to me that I need longer and adjustable mounts that go on the rear for the coil over to hang lower.

Something along the line of these by Alston:

I priced just the brackets, and they want $700 plus for just the brackets. I gotta believe that someone makes something less expensive than that. Alston products are top notch for sure, but I am having a hard time swallowing $700 for adjustable brackets personally.

I can't be the only one having this issue with a lowered A body. How do you mount them on your car? I see where you have your own lower bracket as well, but it looks to be part of the bigger kit and not something I can order separately

The attached picture is how mine mount now. I also agree that the 150# sounds too light, but that is what was in the car when I acquired it.


Thanks,
Glenn
