Ordered my springs and shocks but wanted to see if anyone else had this combo and how they liked it. The springs are the sport model with 1 inch drop and the shocks are the classic grey edelbrocks. Thanks

I have this setup on my 67. The ride is much smoother than the old springs and cheap shocks that were on it. I do not have the front end float at cruise speeds either. It is a firm ride, but is smooth. I also like how the car sits now too, much better rake to it. The car seams more comfortable to me too.
I had air shocks in the back before installing the new shocks.
I also have the Hotchkis front and rear sway bars, boxed rear bars, and 15" rims. I also have the air bags in the springs for launching the car better.

Bill,
That is good to hear. I will soon start putting my 67 back together. I have Hotchkis springs, sway bars and rear control arms, TRZ front tubular control arms, Monroe Sensatrac shocks (got them on sale at a great savings), new front disc brakes and new 11" drums in the rear. A new Strange S-60 rearend with Ford Explorer drum brakes will be out back. I know this not a perfect combo of parts but it should be way better than stock. The new 496 big block will be sweet too. :D
Do you have pics of your 67 with the new parts installed? :yes:
