IML: '56 Ride Hieght

[randalpark@xxxxxxx]

Since she doesn't sit "nose down" I'd say your doing great. This would 
also add to the idea that the other '56 car in this string may have 
weak front coils. That would cause "nose down" appearance, especially 
after installing new rear springs.

Imperialist's:

 

    In regards to the rear springs.....I, too, ordered and installed 
the HD springs on my '56 Imperial Sedan and really like the way it 
sits.....I can load her with all MY plus size friends and she doesn't 
even dip....this after having springs that would bend by the gallon of 
gas......she doesn't sit 'nose-down' and is maybe an inch different 
from front to back [though I would have to measure-pics on site of Turq 
show her with new HD's], the ride is smooth and not stiff to me, this 
due to the fact she weighs near 5000 pounds empty....I also did the 
springs on my '55 New Yorker Deluxe Sedan which did not have the HD 
option and frankly do not like the way its stock look makes it appear 
to live the forward look as her profile is 'uphill', sitting an inch or 
two lower in the rear than the front which does not do the car justice 
and which I will be correcting through a local spring company via a 
helper more than likely......
