Was that on an older car or 79 and newer?
I was told the older,74 & earlier, sat lower with stock springs and the aftermarket springs would leave it kinda high.

I installed the IAP lowering springs on my 1974 when I worked the suspension in 08. I gotta tell you, my car sits nice and level.

The tires are 175 70/13. and they fill up the wheel well beautifully 8)

and the ride is not harsh at all.

I too, want to cut my springs down. Good time for all to show off your cars with pictures, and descriptions of your modifications. 8)
