Default Stance ?

Is there a way to adjust the rear stance or ride height of my 67 camaro. The car is mini tubbed and already has the 3" drop leafs. The front end has the coil over conversion, but I would really like to drop the rear down another inch or so. Any suggestions on how to do it?
Thanks Rich

If you haven't driven the car yet, they'll settle a bit after a few hundred miles.

I haven't had it out yet, although I really thought once I got the rear window glass in place and the rear seat in that it would settle out and drop more, as a matter of fact all the glass is in, the front seat frame and and front seats are not in the car yet. I dont think its gonna help though. Perhaps 150lbs of lead in the trunk?

I'd definitely drive it for a while before you do anything. If it's still not low enough you could add lowering blocks, or the best way would be to have them de-arched.

Bill,

I would like to check in to the lowering blocks, where is the best place to purchase them, Im thinking I can readjust my pinion angle at the same time.
I will drive it first though.

thanks

I had the same issue with my '68. Tried sandbags, let it settle for months, and eventually went with 1" lowering blocks.
