Dropped the front end yesterday, Much Better !!!

[Bdubya]

She does look alot better. Is it a small block? Maybe you had big block springs under there?

How's the ride now?

I'm thinking about doing the same thing to my '68...
Looking for a quick fix for the front-up stance - at least until I re-do the suspension all the way around.

So, is you ride better, worse, the same? How about wheel clearance...any rubbing issues?

here's mine, not the best photo, but you can see the front was like yours...

Ride is more firm but not harsh now.....before, the front was too bouncy, it would even be scary with a wandering issue....when you hit dips in the road over 60mph. No rubbing but I also do not have inner fenders.

Nice ride...Liam.

Liam, I love your 68 .Got any more pics ,interior and under hood .I sold our 68 project a while back and really wish I could have finished it . Had to sell something to start restoring my daily driver 72 Chevy truck ,I thought my 55 Bel Air would have sold first but it refuses to leave .I thought the 68 would be a hard sell as a project but it sold quick.

I saw them and thankyou.

So , here's a question..
If you'r car has a droopy rear end like my 70 does,
is it better to drop the front or raise the back?
Is it just a matter of preference? Or does one way help the handeling more than the other.

I'm kind of wondering the same....my rear ens sits low...but has a pretty good ride...and I want to raise it up a few inches in the back.

I cut the front just to get the stance better - but it dropped too low and the tires rub...so, I order the 1-1/2 inch lowering springs from CPP...

But I would STILL like to get the arse up a bit.

Any ideas?

Shocks?
