    I was referring to the front. 2 inch might be best for a daily driver. Best thing to do might be to put it on jackstands and take the wheel off and measure just to be sure. Use a yard stick and a ruler and turn lock to lock with the suspension compressed.

    I will have more pics of the car in about a week or so.

    Did you have a hard time getting it aligned after you lowered it? I cut my 3/4 of the coils in the front and the alignment was tough on my 63 Cat.

    The shop that aligned it said it came out fine. I haven't had a chance to drive it too much since then but it seems OK. I will be putting a few miles on it this week so I will post if there are any problems.

    Here's how mine looks now. I think I might want to go lower.

    That looks very nice! I love that body style. I had a 63 Cat, It was burgundy color. I miss it but this 62 is a lot of fun.

    I like the 62 Body style as well. Yours looks great.

    This is from some time ago, but any feedback on using the Riviera kit on the lesabre? I have a 62 and am looking to lower the car in much the same way as well. Any and all feedback regarding the ease of install to the ride comfort and maybe some pics of the stance with the kit installed would be greatly appreciated.
