i dont remember how much it lowers the rear but they do work. i think its the elcaminos around 70 that have the springs you need. i also think the springs from the front work too. it lowers it alot from what i hear.

I posted this same question on here about 68-72 chevelle springs. The best I could come up with was it would lower the rear about 4 inches. not sure on the front...

She has drop spindles and the caprice springs. tires are 205/70/15 and they don't rub at all. ofcourse my inner wheel wells are cut out. she rides really smooth, but air bags are needed. the roads in abilene suck.

I was wondering, does it have a two piece drive shaft? If it does, does it vibrate?
