Lowered my 76

I finally got around to knocking the 4x4 look off my 76. Ordered a pair of VB&P 550 lb front coil springs and the 8" bolts for the rear. Dropped the car from 29.5" in the front down to 27.5". Got it realigned today. Handles so much better, wasn't my reason for doing this but a great benefit.

Don't hesitate doing it. It made a huge difference in the appearance but the way it handles now is night and day difference, so much so that I ordered a 1 1/8" front anti-sway bar kit from VB&P and might upgrade my AC Delco shocks to Bilsteins down the road. I only wish I had done this back in January when I rebuilt the front end, but I didn't know about these springs at that time.
