Very nice pics! You nailed the backspacing of the wheels. What size are they?

Awesome built man, love the stance and engine set up. What suspension are you running? I have put Hotchkis lowering front springs and Hotchkis leaf springs, the front is not as low as yours. In fact, the passenger front and rear sides are sitting a little lower than the driver side.

What engine mounts and crossmember did you go with to fit the LS1? Are running A/C as well?

[1970ssls1]

im actually using hotchkis suspension all around. used s&p mount plates and an ats trans xmember.

Love the color, and I really don't think there's any better wheel choice on the 2nd gens than what you went with.

Need driving shots!

they should, there looks to be enough room, i already have the hotchkis springs, so im not sure what to use to get lower though.

did you cut any off the front springs? and if so how much? what headers did you use? and i must say that one of the best looking 2nd gens out. as for the rear you could do 1in lower block but that might be too much, thats what iam going to do if mine is to high in the rear.

Great looking car, nice job!

i did have to cut a bit off, its was kinda high even with the 2" lower springs

How much did you cut? I have the Hotchkis springs 2" drop, and like you said, my car is still sitting a bit high. I am a bit concerned about the ride quality once the springs are cut.

Another problem is the front wheels, the stupid shop put wheels with 4" backspacing, which makes the wheels stick out.

Other than lowering did you have to do any other modifacations to the suspension for fitment? ie minitubs 4 link anything like that.
