69 F85 Lowering

Does anyone have suggestions on lowering springs, and a pair of front struts for lowering my '69 f85? I'm looking to go down 1" in the back and 1.5" in the front to get better stance and reduce body roll.

I got Eibach on my 70 cutlass and my 69 Chevelle. Love the stance and improved handling.

You don't get scraping with that setup?

no scraping, I do have to go real slow over the speed bumps so i don't leave my headers behind, but never while driving and I hit some nasty bumps on the highway.

How about curbs? We have some nasty ones here, and I'd be afraid of the fender lip.

I don't have a answer for that Seff, I rarely park over the curb and usually they are 6" or less. I can measure the height when I get home and tell you exactly how tall it sits.
