    In the midst of a frame off. Frame is POR-15d. Now replacing all suspension bushings with Energy Suspension polys. Will be tearing apart the rear this weekend. Body is almost back from the body shop - at least the cowl back is coming home. :) I would like a lowered stance in the front and slightly higher in the back. I will be dropping 2" in the front with lowering springs and want to raise the rear an inch or so. I'd like a comfortable ride back there and want to avoid air shocks. I remember back in the day I had a '70 GTO with Caddy rear springs. It sat up so that the tires did not rub and rode great. The springs had been put in by the previous owner, but I did not verify that they were Caddy springs back then. Has anyone done this with their A-body or aware of anyone who has? Any assistance is appreciated. Thanks.
