I went from a set of ESPO 1" over to a set of the Detroit Eaton 1" under and they worked out great. Seem to carry a load well. Here are two pics if they load for me. Dave

Default 2 inch drop DSE's on mine...

The car does not have anything in it but it looks like I should have gone with the 3 inch drop as low as I am running in the front.

I had a set but sold them, they were 2" drop, DESpring makes springs for DSE, with a secret drop, or LBage, Steve

Yor car sits nice, I have a Nova but it sits lower in the rear, bad springs, but I have Cal Tracs on it;
