I think its perfect. Hotchkis makes two different springs for the 75-81 ta. They're advertised as lowering 1.5" so i had to call them to find out the difference. Turns out one lowers more than the other. I was concerned about ground clearance so i got the ones that ride higher. Relatively speaking. They are stiffer and lower than the originals. Runs a 1.6 sec 60ft with no wheel hop cuz they're stiffer in front of the axle. I dont know how to describe ride hight other than to post a pic. I'll see if i can do than tomorrow. Typing this from my phone now. Ill has to get the puter going... Jon
