I am getting ready to remove the rear end and springs from my stock 67 Coronet 440 and am looking for replacements that will raise the car an inch or two and handle the torque of the 512 wedge. It will be mainly a street driven car with maybe an occassional trip to the strip. Thanks www.picturetrail.com/hemi_ram

No pics but the car sat like your Coronet with the repro XHD springs. Using the upper hole with the SS springs was also a great improvement in traction. The front wheelwell lip is 24.5" from the ground, the rear 26".

You have to use a different front hanger for them to work though. Here it is sitting. Its sitting downhill, but its all I can find. 6341210-carbefore.jpg (44 downloads) Last edited by 66coronet; 12/06/10 12:26 PM.
