      No good on the lowers! Maybe it was just your specific car, I'll find out as they will be here tomorrow. I was also thinking about putting a poly coil seat in the spring cup so I'm not so dropped in the front. I have the Hotchkis 2 in drop coils for the front. I'd like to keep it about that height. I'm going to call hotchkis today and see if i can get a set of there poly coil seats. Hoping they will work in the cup on these a arms we have. Other option is get a no drop front coil I guess. I do have a third option too, coil overs or shockwaves. Spendy though.

      I'm in Minnesota.

      Ya the arms were too narrow by like an 1/8 of a inch. Hopefully yours slide right in but being a welder myself I know once welded metal loves to move and being made in a jig im sure some of the arms spring out and also warp in it all depends on how the person welded the arm and how fast he removed it from the jig.

      I'll have to come check those out,sounds like fun. Between all the projects and work and trying to also get my youngest into a jr dragster I stay pretty full. Sounds like it would be a good break to go and watch. Thanks foe the info. Also, if deer season wasn't coming up I would definitely be interested in buying your car!

      Very nice car!! I would actually be interested in the Weld Draglite wheels you had on it originally if you wanted to get rid of them.
