Question on lowering
 
2 Attachment(s)
I have a question regarding lowering springs, I bought the lowering kit from cpp 2 up front and 5 in the back. But for a 5 inch drop it still looked too high. So I recently c notched it and put 2 inch lowering blocks so it total it should be a 7 inch in the back. The prime red picture is just on 5 inch spring and when it’s painted it’s with the c notch and 2 inch blocks. I want to know why you guys think? I know CPP has a tendency to misbox items cause it’s happened to me multiple times

Here's a couple of pics of my 68 with 7" lowering in the rear, 5" springs and 2" lowering blocks from CPP for comparison. 15" ralleys and 275/60 tires. Also the front is lowered 5 1/2", dropped spindle and 3"drop spring. Personally I think you should drop the front some more for a better look.

Yours looks great. There’s no engine or tranny in it yet so I’m waiting when I put that in on how it will sit up front if not I’m going with the 3 inch spring up front since I have a 2 1/2 drop spindle.

I didn't realize you had no engine in there yet. That's why it is sitting higher. Sorry bout that.

You're on the right track. Get the weight back in it and add the 3 in. springs up front. Mine is a 5.5 and 7 drop. Build On.

3/4" drop

3" front springs with 3" rear springs and a 1" block. Rides nice.

I wouldn't mess with anything else until you get the drivetrain in. Until then, you're just guessing.
