I new there had to be someone out there doing this. What about the transverse leafs? How did you narrow them?

[waynieZ]

Thats an awesome project. I can't wait to see this one done.

Way cool build.

[REAL BOB JOHNSON]

did'nt use factory springs or the cradles front and rear. I've seen them narrowed,split in the middle and rewelded,just does'nt look good. I put coil overs on all 4 corners Bob

Go with the Pfadt coilovers all the way around.... that'll get rid of the spring all the way around.

QA1 Just came out with a coil over kit for the C5/C6. I am doing the same thing you are doing but in a 68 camaro. Did you lengthen your torque at all?

Nice build Bob.

While I dont want to knock QA1's quality - but Pfadt has been designing and selling coilvers for the Vettes for years, and at 1800 bucks, you can't complain about the price. Everyone that I know that has them, loves them.

Just my 2 cents.

if you won't then i will! its a nice piece for a street rod... but its not a performance shock. the valving is ..... suboptimal.. and the adjustment is simple bypass orifrice (so thet change damping with temperature).. and they dont return to the same setting .. and 4 clicks on one shock doesnt equal 4 clicks on another...

but they look spiffy and are cheap
