rear suspension options?
yeah i have about 11"-11-1/2" from inside of quarter lip to leaf spring. the tires actually measure about 9-7/8" wide. so im good on side to side clearance. where the tires hit was the front of the quarter panel, which i think was from all the movement in the spaghetti like suspension. I think i should be careful when down shifting in the future, because i dont think those tires aren't meant to skid.
i got the leaf springs and shocks off. the shocks are shot on the compression side. the springs seem pretty spaghetti like, i can jump on them like a trampoline and they fully compress to the shop floor. plus the rubber bushings are rotten like. probably original to the car.
so i think this is a good start. i am going to order from EPSO springs n' things. it doesn't look like they sell shocks, i am thinking i might just start with some stock aftermarket shocks and see how those work.
