I think a into about yourself and car would be the first thing. Then P&J does make a good easy set-up good instructions and nice ride too.

Do an introduction to let us know who you are. On my super channeled A coupe, I'm going with a sort of ladder bar setup and a transverse 40 ford spring. I think that will work good. My buddy with a 31 sedan went with ladderbars and coilovers and that car rides pretty good. Dave

I think you should just heat the springs with a torch to slam it to the ground they ride much better that way

Let me throw sand in the cogs here.

A trailing arm is the hot setup. Ditch the coilovers and snag a pair of coils ('60s style).

By the way, 514735, that's a really sneaky name. Why don't you change it to Maynerd Krebs, that's still open.
