It looks like a poster child for the '70s street machine era.

What is the proper way to measure for ride height?
I used Ridetechs new dual rate springs and have been happy with them, but they are more than a 1/2" drop.

100% honestly, if I had to do it over again, I would just go with adjustable coilovers. They arent that crazy expensive, and it just seems to me that the adjustability is worth its weight in gold. Plus changing coil springs gives me the heebie jeebies, so the coil overs seem safer.
