I bet some on here can't fathom that a bunch of dirt track guys know something about, springs and suspension, and how to get the ride height as well as spring rates where they need to be

As pointed out by the last post, Speedway Motors has about every suspension product anyone might need.

Put some weight jacks in it and adjust it right where you want it, Just Kidding.....

Not to mention the stuff can be dirt cheap. (What can I say, it was too easy.)

68ragtop - One more time, specific question to be answered, are you SURE you didn't tighten the lower control arm bolts, the ones that hold the lower control arm to the frame?

They were energy suspension bushings at the time & yes they were tightened.
But, When I took things back apart, the lower control arms flopped all the way down under their own weight with everything still tightened. very little resistance at all, & same with the uppers. I'm Pretty sure that's how those bushing are designed to be. Now, I have the stock rubber style & I have nothing tightened up at all knowing those have a progressive resistance

I know the energy suspension is a better preforming option, I completely get that. I just changed my scope a little & decided on going after a more factory appearance instead of performance.

Ok so they still flop, with very little resistance?

I'm not saying anything about performance or 'better', just making sure they aren't binding by tightening when not on the ground. The type of bushings people choose is a personal preference, it's not a right or wrong thing.
