Rear suspension recommendations.....

abodyjoe said

just daily driver use then i'd call espo ( Buy Quality Automotive Leaf Springs, Coil Springs and Suspension Parts for your Classic or Antique Auto )and order a set of V8 6-leaf springs in your choice of height. they sell in -1", stock, +1" and +2" i believe.

or for some more money an a firmer spring you can go with a eaton from pete (@GMachineDartGT ) over at Home - Bergman Auto Craft - Home of Quality Muscle Car Parts


for shocks if ya go QA1 up front then i'd go QA1 in the rear. whatever you decide you'll want something better then a KYB.

Thanks for recommending ESPO - in my original post I mentioned buying leafs for another car from a supplier I couldn't remember remember the name of, ESPO is that company! I picked them because of their high quality level, others out there are good, but thanks for recommending these guys.

Are the +1 or +2 strickly for presentation and looks, or are there actual reason why you'd want to lift a vehicle - ex. reduce rubbing from close fenders to the rear tires? If i did a +2, wonder how that woudl affect the ride quality, again this supposed to be a daily driver so ride quality is important.
