Suspension rebuild complete!:classic: WOW what a difference!!!

Its a 72 and now I "feel" the need for a rear bar. I don't want it to stiff so I'm always oversteering. What are your suggestions?

How do the rear aftermarkets mount? From what I see they mount "backwards" She now has Eibach's ,Tokico non's, and poly bushings. I like to drive her hard on the twisties (3rd gear at 60mph) and feel the tail lifting on the inside a bit.

I just lowered my suspension with Eibachs and tokico non adj. and love it! My car lowered about an 1 3/4" in the rear and about an 1 1/4" in the front. Huge difference. It's a little weird the first few times getting in as I was used to the higher ride height, though (believe it or not!). I think mine lowered a little more than normal because my springs were still in really good shape (not much sag) but the car has leveled out to within about 3/8" front to back for the better. My front ran a little higher than the rear before the switch. San Fran would be a great place to run a Z, I'm jealous! The springs are a little firm on bumps but well worth the expense IMO.

BTW, it's a little more difficult to slide the old lift in under the rear end but that's the price you pay.

59' - I'm curious, what did your measurements from centerline of hub to fender end up being? What size bar do you have in front? I don't think you want your rear bar to get equal or larger than your front.

Ouch. That's a lot lower than I want to go. maybe I should keep looking. I don't understand why all of the aftermarket springs lower the car so much. Is it too much to ask to keep the stock ride height??? I guess I could buy the stock springs but they cost too much. :(

I've got before and after picks if you want to see the difference. I'm pretty sure you can tell but....? How much are you wanting to spend? I'm trying to decide what to do with my stock springs I took off. They're in good shape and I might be willing to part with them if your interested. Are your springs shot?
