    Bob Parmenter,
    Thanks for the pic but really it would of been nice to see also a "Before" pic also.How am i to know what the difference looks like if i don't see it "Before and After".Are you happy with the results? And yes,i think i have decided to go with Heidts and if not them,Superior.i like the Heidts cause they have the interchangeble caliper bracket,so if you change from Early to Late model calipers. Thanks and pleaseif you have one,post a pic of that Beauty Before the drop.Sure looks nice!

    ".Is this someone you have used yourself?."

    Yep, and friends have also. Good company with a good reputation in the industry. Been around a long time.

    Just as a for-instance, where else on the planet are you going to find a selection of 23 different springs JUST for the MII?????

    Below is the car in nose bleed stock stance.

    Here's an article from Super Chevy that will give you some ideas, and McGaughey's contact info is at the bottom. http://www.superchevy-web.com/tech/0410sc_suspens/
    and here's his site directly www.mcgaughys.com

    It's much easier to promise someone a "free" ride on the wagon than to urge them to pull it.

    Luck occurs when preparation and opportunity converge.
