Re: How about some pics of Static dropped 60-66
I've already put my 65 on this page but I just put first gen Monte Carlo springs
in the rear because I cut the stock ones way too much and couldn't bolt them
to the trailing arms giving a harsh ride...great ride now!!! I am going to install 3 inch blocks tomorrow because it kicked my rear end up a bit. Gotta get lower!!!

agree completely mine is a 7 / 6-1/2 drop gonna c notch in a couple of weeks

I'm actually in the process of going thru the front suspension with drop spindles to improve the suspension geometry. Ball joints look like the buttons on a fat man's coat!

Any help would be appreciated

Re: How about some pics of Static dropped 60-66
just finished adding 2 1/2" spindles and 1" spring. I guess my originals were a bit worn because I only dropped 2 1/2" total. I like the rake to I am not dropping the rear
