    Front end

    Well I findly finished me front end a couple of months ago. Put Eibach racing srings,02 pi shocks,new pittman ,idler arm, balljoints which my I say I 'd rather hit myself in the ball's than do those again.All in all it only took me about 13 hrs..She is stiff as a weddingdick now.Time to do the rear next.I have the same kind of srings for the rear.They where for my buddy's SS Impala;hope they fit....

    What are the specs of those Eibach springs, as in free height and spring rate? I assume they are lowering springs, no? RWD Chevy Impala rear coils should work in your Crown Vickie, it's a real easy swap there really. Another thing - get a set of lower sidewall H-rated tires all around, and when given the time switch to poly bushings in the front control arms. Do you have the big swaybars already?

      The springs are alittle lower than the old ones by about 2 1/2 ".As for the weight I don't know but they are stiff 800-900lbs I guess.Thanks on the info on the tires I hope to get a set of 16 x 9 soon and no I do not have a rear sway yet I can't find one.I want a pi swaybar about 1 5/8 or as big as I can get.As for the poly bus. I can't seem to find any for or cars.I assume they don't make them specific for the pathers???

        800-900 isn't THAT stiff. Did you do control arm bushings?

        The biggest rear bar is 1" from the factory. Read the Sticky for the bushing info....
