Anyone have any experience or knowledge about this kit from Dick Miller Racing?

No experience with them but it looks a lot like the Detroit Speed kit (http://www.detroitspeed.com/productpages/indproduct/rearsuspensionprod/042404-rear-coilovr-kit.htm). It's on my "to do" list.

I can't get the DSE link to open-up all the way:puzzled: ...not sure if its a problem on my end or theirs.:Do No:
But I can see the prices:shock: :Dou:
Dick is not giving his away, but in an email from '07 he gave the following prices: (prolly higher now)
Single adj kit---- $775.00
Double adj kit--- $975.00
A little easier on the wallet. But like I said, I can't get a look at much of anything at the DSE site, so I can't make much of a comparison.

That's some nice looking stuff.:TU:
But, I am just interested in info on REAR coil-over conversions right now.:grin:
There's always Air Ride too. The technology has come a long way in the last 20 years and it's comparably priced with the ability to make the ride height cockpit adjustable.
Air Ride Shockwave Rear System (http://www.ridetech.com/shop/suspension-systems/shockwaves/1964-1972-gm-a-body-shockwave-rear-system.html)

Yeah, I know they work good...but I am not interested in having a compressor, an air tank, and all the other stuff in the trunk. That wouldn't help the ETs any.:Brow: :laugh:
well, if you're gonna race only you could run individual lines to each and have a small compressor trackside until you dial in the optimum pressure on each unit. Sure beats crawling underneath with a spanner wrench and an allen key to dial in the coil overs. ;)
