Looking for that stance
- Thread starter Mr Goodwrench
- Start date
$10000 to $ 13000+ cost of a new frame and suspension (all the new frames you see being installed -the cost is not mentioned much) like this http://www.schwartzperformance.com/1958-1964-fullsize-chevy-impala-biscayne-chassis/
Air ride $ 1300 + installation $900 (minimum with alignment) + other related parts like exhaust changes, driveshaftetc., Plus possible new front a frames and rear suspension necessary like this link (over $ 4000 ) + installation https://www.ridetech.com/products/suspension-packages/product-3237/
Why to low for me -that's just my opinion & not worth the cost.
I would rather have a stronger rear end ( inch ford or Moser and a better driveshaft and/or 5 speed Richmond transmission )
Each person does what they like.

Thanks Paul! Way out of my budget!!! Never hurts to look though.
Damn pricey for this redneck. Let me see, fifth of Templeton Rye, $35, pair of Wal Mart glasses $10, total $45.......done deal
I love the stance..... it looks great........ but if it’s not an altered suspension/ frame......... it would probably be impractical......... and you’d bottom out on everything......

I like that Russ, Not too low. Will be talking to you when I get to my frame. Thanks!!
Very nice Russ , Damn those Belair HT are sure a sweet looking car. Had a chance to buy one a few years ago but when I popped the hood and found a 6 banger laying on its side it scared me away but for what he was asking for it I should have bought it.

1 coil off both front and back, 15" rims with 235/75 15 tyres on all four corners, fronts 6" wide 3" back space, rear 8" wide 4" back space.
drives and rides really good, had to modify the power steering fittings on the control valve to clear the chassis at full lock going through a spoon drain.

Could be air bags with all of the air dumped out? I can't roll that low in mine, with all of the air out - mufflers are the lowest point and 1/4" from the pavement and I think 3" in front and 5" back from frame to ground. I kept stock frame and spindle height but rolling on ridetech system with 17" front and 18" rear wheels. I air up around 2" for slow driving and another 2" on the highway.
