    i like the adjustability, but if i did it again i think i should have went with the aftershock air ride setup. i have not alot of street time on mine, but i still havent finished up with my car. i did a c5 brake conversion, b body spindles, kore3 hubs. fat man upper tubular control arm.1 1/4 sway bar, 1 " in the rear with a 9" in the rear with tubular upper and lowers, w/3:73 gears and a detroit locker. i took it for a ride on the street a few times and it dident seem to be to stiff, but it def hugs the road.

    I have a Speed Tech rear coil over conversion with QA-1s on my 64 Skylark Pro Touring car. I had to modify the brackets to fit my Moser 12 bolt, but if you have a stock style rearend, it should bolt right up. Then you can adjust your ride height and shock characteristics. Works great. Next I'm trying out a Ridetech Street Challenge airride system on my 70. Buicks, fast with class, and made to handle!
