I have been doing research on this site among other and think I have figured it out. As you can see from the pics in my sig, my car sits a little lower in the rear. I was thinking air shocks, but have heard to many bad things. This is the combonation I have come up with: Wagon shocks and cargo coils in the rear, and new shocks and springs in the front. The front will be reproductions of the original. Anything wrong?

I think the stance is just right! If you want to be able to raise the rear a little install some rear airbags in the springs. They only use low pressure, and don't put a lot of pressure on the upper shock mounts, unlike airshocks.Do a search on here on rear airbags,as there has been a lot of dicussion on them that may help.

I agree with Ken. It's perfect like it sits.

I also like the stance. If you want a little rake look maybe lower the front an inch. If you have your hart set on raising the rear get taller springs. Airbags are great to add some preload for traction or help keep a car from sagging when loading it down, but not a good way to permantly alter ride height.
