Front coil-overs
I have built a new frame and suspension, IFS & IRS with a Nissan 300ZX posi rear end, with 4 wheel disc brakes for my wifes '27 T Tudor Sedan, It only needs the shocks, old chassis worked, but it's just not what I wanted! It will also have the Vortec 4.3 out of our '93 S-10 Blazer (after we move).
I have a question about the new front & rear coil-overs, when I order new ones, the front span I have is 10" at ride height, do I get 12" so that I would have 2" down (tire goes down) travel on the shock? or is that already figured in when they say the length?
They will sit at 20 degs, unless I set them at a 12" span then the angle changes to about 17.5 degs. I can change the mount on the frame and use a longer shock if I want to.
Thanks! PatHemiTCoupe
Anyone can cut one up, but! only some can put it back together looking cool!
Steel is real, anyone can get a glass one.

You're welcome Mike, glad it worked out for you. Roger, it's taken a few years but my inventory of excess parts has shrunk a fair bit from 1 1/2 garage stalls to about an eight by eight space. ...
