No cookie cutter rod here...need help

ratrocket · December 27th, 2008, 08:48 PM

I want to lower my '56 88 coupe.

1) Who makes lowering springs/spindles/shocks for the front?
2) Who makes good springs/lowering block kit for the back?

I know I could go the "air ride" or "Mustang II IFS" route, like every other cookie cutter rod out there, but I'm trying to go old school and keep it real Olds all the way.

Thanks!

the springs were heated on my olds and it doesn't have that crappy stiff ride. Dont know if you wanted to go that route but there is my 2 pennies. p.s. post some pics i want to see her!

Cut a coil off the fronts and have the rears de-arched.
