Ride height/lowering questions specific to SBC C3 vert with rebuilt rubber suspension

(1/1)

demonx:
Who here has a small block chrome bumper vert and has rebuilt both the front and rear end with rubber kits?

What was your resulting ride height?
Over time how much did it settle?

What spring combo's did you use to get your desired height without cutting coils?

I have a 1970, non power, non air convertible. Tire size 245/45/18 ... New ride height = 29"


I've rebuilt my front and rear end with the willcox complete kits RUBBER, not poly. Bilstein HD shocks all round.

At the moment I still have the original springs front and rear but am looking to change...

My ride height now sits at 29" all round. That's after driving the car and getting it to settle down. I'd was very happy with the old ride height (see sig pic) but now everything is new its sitting very high.

Yes the car was dropped and driven before everything was tightened.

I've been looking into the VBP 550 front and 360 rear. I want to bring it down to around 26" -  26.5"
