This has a totally custom built front and rear kit from what I see. I am wondering if any of the pre-made kits like hotchkis or rms will have an end look like this? http://www.legendarymotorcar.com/site2/listing/1967-plymouth-gtx-2/ 67 Coronet R/T 911 Turbo

Looking at the pictures, that is a pretty standard ride height as far as our kit goes. A lot of that end up being dictated by spring rate and tire size.

It actually works. Nicely done. Now I need to pin those needles, got to feel that heat Hear my motor screamin while I'm tearin up the street

Surely not the coil over shocks! its mounted solid to the axle and is triangulated it can't move sideways unless the axle tubes or the arms bend. Mopar to the bone!!!

Reality check, that half the population is smarter then 50% of the people and it's a constantly contested fact.
