I'm sure someone else will chime in that can help. I just had to say, that is sick. Do you plan on painting it? What else have you done to the car? Keep up the good work.

Thats the good with airride. you can drive it high over the speed bumps. And yes the speed bumps are crazy over here!
I would like to have it in this condition but it starts to rust so in a couple of years i need to paint it. but i like the way it looks right now. but would be nice with a pair of dropped spindles.

How low do you want to go? It looks like you could be scraping the pavement with that thing already? Really nice. Truthfully, how high is the car from the ground to the lowest point presently? I think it looks good. If you are serious about dropped spindles you might ask Joe_padavano or 88coupe. They both have experience with the pre seventies cars.

the problem is if i pump the bags with 120psi it is good to ride in but it is almost as high as original. so if i want to go low with good comfort i need dropped spindles. when i drop it down, the lowest point is about 3" from ground. would be really nice to be able to lay it to the ground.. you dont see so many 98 -65 low riders

Ok I understand now, I didn't think that through before I asked. You might go over here and ask around there as well. Lots of people do that kind of stuff on that site. I visit there but don't post very often, it is a huge site.

Welcome. If you want it lower let the air out of the tires, park in the mud, find a bunch of really big people to go for a ride. Plenty of ways to do it.

Looks great just the way it is. Note many people lower the really big cars
