O.K. here is the problem. I set my body down on the frame yesterday and there is about 2.5 in between the top of the tire and body. I put a set of the HOTCHKIS 1 in lowering springs in it. Nothing is tight as far as the suspension goes.
Any ideas?
Sorry no pictures to show.

what were you looking for? and I'll say this again companies that sell springs by so called "drop" of X amout of inches are realy missleading customers

If the car is still empty (read, no motor, trans, interior, etc.) it's gonna sit higher. A few others have experienced this - myself included. Once the car is at it's full weight and the suspension is loaded it will settle down.

I appreciate the info. And the look that I am looking for is the look of the Silver Redline Chevelle. I put the same suspension under mine as it. It was setting on top of the tires. I will just give it a while to settle. Hopefully it will be O.K.
