Anyone out there have a side view to show stance of a 69 small block coupe with the 1.5" lowering Eibach fronts and the 1.5" drop Hotchkis leafs?
Thanks,
Guy

Thanks David and Brian,
I did search the archieves and saw those pics of Brians car. I wanted to see a side view that shows the rake of the car. I don't want it lower in the rear. I would like it to rake down towards the front a little, you know, that agressive stance.
Brian, how do you like the ride and handling aspects with your combo? I didn't notice, do you have frame connectors and if so what brand?
Thanks,
Guy

I have frame connectors, not sure what brand, they were installed on the car before I bought it. I love the handling. KYB shocks right now but I plan to upgrade to Hotchkis or Bilstein shocks down the road. 225/60SR15 up front and 255/60HR15 in the rear for now until I move up to 17" american racing tt2s.
Front is 24.75" Floor to Lip (13.25 center hub to lip)
Rear is 25.75" Floor to Lip (13.25 center hub to lip)

So front is 1" lower than the rear, so just a slight rake. Works well for me. I have a 1.25" Sway bar up front and a 1" Sway bar for the rear that I haven't installed yet.
