Re: C20 5" Rear Lowering Coils Springs that ship to Canada?

Are you wanting to keep the C20 load rating? I lowered my 68 C20 rear 4" but I used 1/2 ton coils. They fit the same and I bought my kit from Scotts Super Trucks in Penhold AB.

Scott is good to deal with and I would recommend giving him a call. He does not respond as well to email or online.

I had searched for C20 lowering coils and at the time (6 years ago) Performanceonline.com did sell them but did not ship to my remote location. I see they list front lowering C20 coils but not rears. Might be worth contacting them too.

I would bet C10 Burb coils would be similar in capacity.

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.

Dumb question, but I am wondering if it is necessary to get shorter shocks if I were to do the same drop: and if so, which ones I should order.

I have brand new shocks so if I need to replace them to lower it a couple inches that would be a bummer so I am wondering if it is strictly speaking, necessary.
