I can add a comment on the wagon springs.....

I took my 235/60-15 drag radials off the rear, and put on a set of 225/60-15 to match the front. It sits perfectly now, IMHO.

I am amazed at how much difference 1/2" makes in the rake of the car. It handles and rides noticeably better too! Absolutely no traction though.... I can break them free in any gear.....

Why did Eaton spring say s/w springs will not raise the rear of the car? They said to order GTO springs but and 2".

I will talk to them next week.

The TRW wagon springs definitely raise the rear a little. The rear sits just a little higher than level, which is perfect, IMHO......

So if I get the 66 gto springs with extra 2". It should raise the rear just the way I want it.

I think I will go that route.

Cost $165 pair

I will probable need to get taller shocks. (Or will stock size be fine?)
