70 Chevelle w/ 3" drop in rear - Lateral-g Forums

70chevelle406 · #1 09-22-2009, 07:17 PM

Went to LA today for a physical, and dropped by OPG to pick up some rear springs. The general plan was to order both the 2" and 3" and compare the difference. Since the 2" were out of stock I just picked up the 3" and installed them right when I got home. So I now have a set of Eibach 1.3" Rear lowering springs for sale if anyone is interested, PM me.

Heres the difference: 1" springs compared to the 3"

Looks good! What size wheels (18's and 20's)?

Here's my '72 (18's with Hotchkis front/rear springs). It's still settling (both front and rear), so it will lower a tad more. I guess I need to actually drive it for that to happen though

Looks good!

How is the ride, it must be a little rough?

Looks like we nailed that rear fitment, with that 3" drop, that 20x10 fits well back there, with that tire. Looks good!

Fitment was perfect. No rubbing issues anywhere, and I can barely get my fingers in there.

Ride quality is actually better. It feels like the handling is more precise.

Rear is spot-on,personally I'd like to see the front down another inch...

love the stance in the rear i think the front could go down another 2". how much travel do you have left in the rear it looks like you are almost on the bump stops already?did you notch the frame for added clearence?
