Re: IML: shocks to level 67 Imperial Convertible

[Christopher H <imperial67@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

You could get the rear leaf springs re-arched. Or for the easier route, use
the shocks with helper springs you mention. I've had them on mine for 20
years without a problem, and I've always loved the car's remarkable handling
and smooth ride.

OMG, have I owned my car that long? That's almost as long as the original
owners I bought it from!
