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.

Could you measure from the ground to the top of the wheelwell for me? I am wondering how it compares to my truck I habe 2'' coils and 2.5'' spindles but I wand to go lower and dont want to use bags. And how much is it lowerd in the back? I really like that stance.

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