Is anyone running a DSE 3" drop leaf spring in a NOVA?
I want to cover 1/4 to 3/8 of the wheel..I may have to go to Air ride!!!
Please let me know and show pics!!

The DS&E 3" drop spring might not get you there, although a Nova does have a squared off wheel well profile such as a '69 Camaro. The DS&E springs are not necessarily designed for looks but rather competition. The 3" drop helps lower your center of gravity which in turn helps stablize your car in the turns. Any appearance improvements outside of that are a bonus. I have them on my car and I still have 3.5 inches from the top of my tire to the bottem of my wheel lip with the engine and trans in the car. But with your wheel well profile, you might be able to get what you want. Perhaps someone with a similar setup will jump in here and provide some input.
