Thank you 71 Camino SS Jan 3rd, 10, 9:19 AM Depends on how much u lower it. Just make shure u get the right back spacing and every thing should be fine. There is a lot of room in the wells to fill. cant wait to see pics!:yes: igotsachevelle Jan 3rd, 10, 5:10 PM Thank you for the reply that's what I was thinking probably going to lower it about 1.5 to 2 inches just not sure what back spacing to get if anybody is running wheel size this big or if anybody knows what back spacing to get or how to figue it out I would appreciate it thank you Andy69 Jan 3rd, 10, 5:52 PM Maybe Derek69SS will chime in, but true coilovers require the frame to be modified, I beleive. He's the guru in this area. He knows a surprising amount considering he just started shaving last week :) lhkustoms Jan 3rd, 10, 6:23 PM I just got my first chevelle restored 1970 I want to put full coilover suspension on and wheels I want to go with 20x10 in back 18x8 in front want to know if the wheels will fit in back with out doing any type of tub in back do you guyd know if that big will fit and if it will be ok to lower with out any problems? Thank you 20x10 will fit in the back I have a 70 with 17x11 with 315/35/zr17 and require minor rolling of the wheelwell lip. As far as the coilover I strongly recommend not using the hybrid coilovers as the act as a cantilever and will bend the shock. I can mod your frame if needed t run true coilovers. Im located in sandy just a few miles east of you. Give me a call if you have any questions igotsachevelle Jan 3rd, 10, 6:37 PM thanks for the reply can you recomend a good rear coilover kit for me and about how much would you charge to install the kit thanks Derek69SS Jan 3rd, 10, 6:44 PM Maybe Derek69SS will chime in, but true coilovers require the frame to be modified, I beleive.That's correct. "True" coilovers do require a lot of cutting & fabbing up front, but in the rear, they're fairly easy to do. The "coilovers" that you see advertised as bolt-ins for the front use a conical spring that utilizes the stock upper spring pocket. I wouldn't recommend these, because the pocket is not always perpendicular to the shock, so the spring puts side-loads on the shock body, resulting in premature wear... I've seen too many people complaining about them not lasting for me to want to try them. :) lhkustoms Jan 3rd, 10, 7:34 PM thanks for the reply can you recomend a good rear coilover kit for me and about how much would you charge to install the kit thanks Tom I sent you an email give me a call when its convenient for you. | ||
