1" alum spacer rear spring lift kit on an 89GT
Im thinking bout putting this on my 89GT. They are spacers that go on
the spring seat. Does anyone have these and could post or link a pic of a car with them installed? Im thinking it would look to "70s jacked up" but just curious. Thanks, |

Put big meats on the rear and dump it on it's nose... it makes me grin just thinking about it. When you do it, be sure to post some pics! Kate |

I had a 71 Nova that had the rear end hiked up in the air. I thought it looked killer. A set of air shocks on your ride was a must in those days. I remember the rear end would bounce around like the tires were made of solid "super ball" rubber. The shock were so tight they may as well have been solid steel tubes. Ahhh... the good old days. > When you do it, be sure to post some pics! > > Kate > > > > |

Gawd DAMN I wish I was 17 again! If I knew then, what I know now... I'd be even more dangerous than I already am LOL. Kate |

I kept them when I sold the car because they were rumored to be valuable. I sold them to a guy for $200 while I was in college. That $200 bought a lot of beer. > Do you remember "striped twice pipes"? > Never had them myself, but got burned on a set once getting out of a guy's > Firebird. I guess that trend never made it to small town Indiana. > Gawd DAMN I wish I was 17 again! If I knew then, what I know now... > I'd be even more dangerous than I already am LOL. I wish I was too. I gave up a lot of "good stuff" because I thought I was in love during my senior year of high school. Plus if we all had known AIDS was on the horizon maybe the easy love days of the 60s would have had a brief revival. |
