Ok, I measured the two cars last night. From the floor to the bottom edge of the rocker, at the vertical edge, where the jacking points are. Here's what I found: 1970: Front 8 1/2" Rear 8 5/8" 1971: Front 6 3/4" Back 7" So, you can see that there is a big difference. And these springs are supposed to be 3/4" lower. Anyone know what it is SUPPOSED TO BE from the factory?? I figured the old springs probably sagged a bit over the years, but over an inch would seem like a lot. Marty
