1957 olds lowering ( blocks, coils )
anyone ever lower their 57 olds by cutting a coil up front and blocks in the rear? I had plan to do this on the fiesta, but I noticed there is a coil over shock in the rear. ive also seen this on a 58 fiesta. did all olds have this or was this just a wagon thing because of the weight? would I have any problems throwing a block in there?

after looking at my pictures, It looks like a line is going from the shock to the rear end. what is that for exactly?? or maybe Im just looking at something else. guess im due for another crawl under there.

Hi New2olds. I am doing a '57 super 88, not a wagon, but i just had my rear springs re-arched with an added leaf. This supposedly will lower it 2 inches w/o blocks. Not sure yet and i hope it works. Best of luck. let us know how it goes. Bill. Charly9g.
