A Body rear shocks

Built my Dart on a low budget. Already had SS springs. I Mini-tubbed the rear. Lowered rear 1". I stuck the stock shocks back in temporary lol it's been 4 years now. The car hooks up pretty good on the street and strip (once a year). It would sit way to high if I didn't lower it. The ride could be softer but no complaints. I agree there are better ways but I try to use what I have when I can. I'm just a blue collar stiff. I have 500/440 source stroker kit,727, 323 gear. Drove to NE Dragway last year on Nostogia day didn't open the hood and did a 11.7 Quarter run . I was happy as it's a street driver. They said if I went 11.5 or better I would have to put a cage in.

It's different if you already have the spring and you don't mind using a lowering block (I use them, but some guys don't like them) to get the ride height where you want it. I'm all for not spending extra money. But to tell someone to buy that spring to start with just doesn't make sense to me. The cost of a good replacement spring is no more and maybe less than the SS spring.
