Well I took them out and put the old stock springs back in but installed a rubber spacer on top of spring so not to be seen . understand a 1/4 or 1/2 at spring pocket is multiplied buy the length of lower control arm. Don't have the formula but about double

I bought some springs from Detroit Spring that did the same thing.

They said they were a OEM supplier. OK, your stuff still isn't right.

Took them back out and installed some oem spacers like you did with the Pontiac springs and all is good.

This is with the new correct springs. Before it looked like I was going 4 wheeling.

I was there with my 65 post (outside). I remember looking your car over, it's gorgeous . Stop beating yourself up. Just get in and drive it as much as you can ,you will feel much better. LOL
CRAP ,I don't know how to fix the picture
