SS springs with C-body shocks and no pinion snubber. Hooks pretty good on 9" radial slicks with a best 60 of 1.50 for my 3700 lb 63 at 10.76. Ron

I only have a couple weeks to decide so figured someone here would know:)

For these to work he wants to make sure that the car sitting at ride height the eye to eye dim is between 171/2 and 20 inches. I am going to be ordering them shortly after I Measure up. he also mentioned to me that a good starting point is on #7. they are so awesome to talk to 7086689-DSC02182_A.JPG (175 downloads) Thank you Kiddart

I only have a couple weeks to decide so figured someone here would know:) I just got some 3400 pound SS springs for my 3600 pound '67 Satellite. The ride is not rough at all to me driving around on the street and it didn't hike the back end up either. Glad I didn't take heed of all the horror stories on the net about SS springs. I'm running cheapo Monroe-matic shocks meant for a Dodge D150 pickup for my long shocks.
