The car set about an inch lower in the rear from the factory, and with correct rating spring ( I prefer a 126) you'll get a good ride and better handing than the ass in the air ( that old controversy over "stance" )
I like the way Craigs car sits , but his is not stock springs, and I do not know the ride quality on stock 15 inch BFg's
Cheapest is use stock Eaton springs and do NOT get a HIGH rate or youll just be building a burn out mobile. I always get ( Rear 4 leaf) the 126 rating, which is Esprit I think, but when new is a bit stiff. Eaton also sells the fronts in your choice and you can select your car and options from their list.
Bushings, you can get either poly from Energy suspension, and grease them well. OR you can by Delalum Bushing kits from global West that make your bushings all a "bearing", which gives your (Front A arms and rear) suspension a much faster reaction time to road bumps, making your new shock choice much more valuable, and they can work as designed.
Car will sit level unloaded and ride and handle well
Biggest tip .. If you do NOt use a Delalum Bearing kit, Do NOT tighten any supsension bolts till the loaded car is on the ground and the suspension is moved up and down , rolled around a little . This will eliminate a high ass end and same in front.
With the bearings its done differently , and all the parts move and swing easily.
I do have part number for the bearings and the energy bushings if you want Ill dig the up. Eaton is easy spring choice and make SURE the rear is 4 leaf.. Many many places will say ( its same as camaro) its NOT.. Good luck
Some folks just HATE the Assembly manual, but here ya go!!
