Just thought you guys might like to know this car was built in my 2 car attached garage.With a little help from my 10 year old daughter,dad,and a couple of great friends. I took the car to work just to spray the outside,all other paint work was done at home. THANKS to a great wife and family:woot:

Well I am thinking about running a 245/35-19 on the front, and 285/30-20 on the rear if the rears will fit width wise.... Here are a couple of pics of the rear.....

I have Global West trailing arms, Hotchkis sway bar, Hotchkis 1" drop springs, and a Moser narrowed 9".

I am not getting the ride height I was hoping for with the rear springs though, and I am not sure the springs will settle to the height I want. I may have to look for something lower.

I haven't fit the fronts yet, hope to this week, if I have time.

Do you have any pics of your car from the side, from a ways back? It looks like your rear end is where I want mine to be as far as the centerline of the axles are concerned.

are those springs the same as a chevelle maybe the rate is to much for the back of the elky.

ZZ3ElCamino

I think as far as Hotchkis is concerned, the Elky springs and the Chevelle springs are the same. Mine are the same part number as the Chevelle's. Doesn't make me very happy at this point, but it is the name of the game, right? I am calling them tomorrow to see what they suggest.

coilovers? maybe better for us to get the stance just right.:yes:

Original Parts Group carries a 1", 2" and 3" drop spring for the rear, so this maybe the route I take if Hotchkis can't off me something.

I would probably end up using the 3" spring based on the ride height I am getting right now.
