I simply use shocks for an Imperial. They are longer than my stock "B" body shocks. The old Direct Connection chassis manual recomends them.

I do go to the track sometime and the car hooks up real good with no wheel hop. I have some Mickey Thompson Street radials and they have excellent grip off the line. I just realize that the shocks are too short and wanted something else. Thanks for the reply Gary

Yours leafs, shock plates and the bottom ends of your shocks are too far away from your chassis. The addition of blocks only corrected the ride height.
Lose the lowering blocks and have a spring shop dearch your SS springs.

With the SS springs does you car sit pretty high in the rear? And how does it ride? Thanks Gary

Sits about the same as with my old HD ESPO springs. Here's a pic with the SS springs.
The ride is a little harder with the SS springs, but I really only notice on really rough roads, no big deal at all to me.
