Just bought another '69 SS Chevelle, but I have a problem with the way it sits. The wheel opening sits a couple inches higher than the top of the rear tire. The car does have ladder bars, but they're coming off. Here's the way it sits now-

I want to put original SS wheels back on the car. With the current stance, it will be ghastly. I'd like it to sit more like this-

Question is this- if I use new stock replacement springs, like Moog, will the car sit just as high since they're new springs? Or would a spring like the Hotchkiss, with 1" drop, be more appropriate? Thanks in advance!

Hey Mike. I have a set of new springs that Im not going to use any more. Let me know if your interested.
Heres a pic of when I got it from you and with the new springs. I used the old worn out upper rubbers. With new rubbers I think it will be about a 1/2" higher.

I had a similar problem. I put new stock replacement springs from TRW I believe #CS6319 and now the car sits nice. Wheel opening right in line with the top of the tire.
