Brothers, I've done extensive time in the search dept. I'll be replacing rear shocks and coils on a '69 E/C. It seem the CC501's will give a stock (read level to slightly lower than level) and CC507's will be slightly higher. I need to confirm the CC507 are not so high as to mess up drive shaft angles etc. This is a daily driver so I have to put a few hundred pounds in the rear in winter, but run empty in summer. Summer tires P235/60/15 Winter is P215/75/15. I know this is long, but need some clairification. As always,Thanks,Brad By the way it was 21 BELOW zero this morning!!

Personally I would go with the bigger ones since over time the springs will start to "sag" which would probably give you an end result of riding level. If you choose to go with the smaller ones, over time you might find that you will be having the nose of the car so much higher in the air than you like and be kicking yourself that you didnt go with the bigger ones. But again, thats only my .02 cents. graemlins/thumbsup.gif
