I have a 69 el Camino.. It has the SC&C stage 3 front end kit with no shims just the spring locators.. I'd like to bring the rear end down so the car sits level..

I have Spohn Del Sphere adjustable rear control arms.. No rear sway bar.

I'd like recommendations on 2" rear lowering springs that wouldn't be too harsh..

I'd like the car to sit level or slightly lower in the back.. I may buy the SPC shim pack and raise the front an 1".. But from what I've read, that hurts handling..

Thank you..

Which ones BMR? On the summit site a lot of guys are saying to get the 1" drop #SPO14R and it will actually drop 2"..

My El Camino is heavier in the back then the smaller hardtop A body..

Thanks..

Never mind.. I'm going to order the BMR SPO15R 2" drop springs.. If they are too low, I use spacers to bring it up..

I have my stock springs clamped now..

My plan is 2 SPC spring pocket spacers in the SPC lower control arms. I have the .9 and .5 tall ball joints.. I want to bring the front up 1"..

Then the BMR 2" lowered springs in the rear.. I'd like to car to be at the height in the photo.. I have a jack under the front and have the rear coils clamped.

Thanks
