I've been sitting on a Classic Performance lowering kit for my 67 for a few months now and finally started poking around to get it installed.

Here's the kit, though I actually got it from my dude Leon, the owner of LSXEVERYTHING dot Com. (good dude, great prices, SUPER helpful)

It's pretty painless and would otherwise bolt right up... Rriigghhtttt uuuppppp until you have to start dealing with the previous owner's corner cutting.

Hey, I get it: when you want "MOAR LOWER!!! "you've got to DO... things.

Well, in this case, "things" included "cutting stock coils", "ditching lower spring perches" and "not putting it back together right, so now the bolt is bent".

Anyway, I'll have new springs all around, new shocks, panhard bar, and both front and rear sway bars on it over the next few days, so I'm counting on a MUCH improved ride.
