New coil springs will do more for an older car than almost anything else to improve ride and handling. Rear coil spring air bags are cheap and work well to stiffen and lift the rear slightly. Air shocks are like adding pogo sticks. For my money, go with new coils and good performance shocks. mike holleman ----- Original Message ----- From: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Tuesday, July 13, 2004 3:10 PM Subject: [Chevelle-list] Lift the car a bit
> Hey guys, > > My 1970 chevelle sits to low for comfort i want to avoid hitting the ground as much as possible. What i want to do is raise the car in the rear about 3 inches and a few inches in the front. I have hear that i can just install some airshocks in teh back and that will lift it enough but i don't really want to put all that weight on the shocks instead of the springs sharing their duties. > what are my options? i have seen spacers for springs and even for shocks. I have also hear that you can take station wagon springs and put them in to give you a bit of a lift. > > I'm sure somone has asked this before. btw if you have any links to the parts i need i would apprecaite it. > > Thanx again, > Aaron M. > Houston > 1970 Chevelle Malibu > >
