Do lowering springs require different length shocks?
My car is falling apart faster than I can restomod it. One of my 17 yr old Edelbrock IAS shocks blew a seal and lost its oil. Man, there’s a LOT of oil in those suckers! They were awesome shocks, but no longer manufactured. At some point I plan to change the rake by dropping the front an inch or two with different springs. Question is.....if I change the shocks now, will I have to get different shocks for the front when I lower it? Don’t want to buy shocks twice.

Oldcutlass, you make a good point. I see a lot of pics on here where I think the car almost looks raised. I have original 51 yr old springs all the way around. They are all probably sagging like crazy. I wonder what height off the ground the body was when new. All I know is that when I’m done, I want the rake to be raised a little in the rear. Lots of ways to get there.
