Does anyone have any of their suspension kits installed? Can you chime in how how the install process went, any fab work needed or was it a direct bolt on? I'm flirting with the idea of upgrading my suspension for my 70 Skylark and their stage 2 and 3 kits look very appealing.

Will be having a local shop install a Stage 2 kit (2" drop springs) on my 68 Chevelle in early September so will be happy to report back then. For what it's worth the shop just finished an install of a stage 2 kit on a 67 Chevelle and said it was a straight forward install with no issues. Car looked killer afterwords too!

I put a Stage 4 (2" drop rear springs) on my 69 Chevelle convertible. Wanted the coil over(hybrid) up front to be able to adjust the stance to my liking. Install went well, everything just bolted right up. Don't have many miles on it but pleased with the handling so far.

Your ride looks sweet lolife. How much do you think you dropped the front?

Direct bolt on is what I like to hear. And that's one hell of a car you have there
