I've seen a few of you guys have cars that are slightly higher in the rear than the front. What is the best way to acheive this? Honestly it gives the car a more muscle look to it. thanks guys

Rear springs from a thunderbird are a good way to do it. I put rear springs frm an '84 Turbo Coupe under the rear of my car and it raised it at least an inch, maybe more.

'83-86 would probably be the best, '87-88s were heavier and might make the rear sit up TOO high. Even the earlier ones might raise it up too much for your tastes, you'll just have to see. Changing the rear springs is a half hour job anyway, so no biggie.

adjustable air shocks are an option BUT take it from me DONT......

If you have these and place a 2.3 t block, head, and intake in the rear to take home you will destroy these shocks.

Now I am going to look into Springs to rectify this situation.........and new shocks............
