I had the RESpeed front and rear coil over kits installed on my '79 . It sits 13" from center of hub to fender lip , so about 1' lower from stock . It is noticeable and looks great. Also rides on rails and no binding noise in the watts linkage or front end.

very satisfied with outcome.

Sorry to hijack the thread, but maybe show some photos of the results?

I don't have a pic of it lowered and it is away in storage for the winter. but FWIW, here is a side shot of stock height , try an imagine the fenders one inch lower front and back, the tires site snugly in the well and the front kamei air dam I have is only a few inches off the ground. , not much help I know , but he asked

I will take a similar shot next spring for comparison. I expect though the pictures won't really give the same impact as really seeing it , and getting into it , which is noticeably lower at first.

I'm also running Respeed coilovers (www.re-speed.com) and am very happy with them. I have the race version, which lets you drop the car as low as you want. I could drop it all the way down to the frame rails if I wanted to.

Performance is outstanding, as is the customer support. Billy is a great guy to deal with.

do you know how many inches you are from hub center to fender lip in the seecond pic?

What about the rear suspension? i thought respeed only had coilovers for the front.

edit: just looked at the site, sorry, i get it now. not true coilovers. i was confused how that was gonna work. cool tho. i want!

My buddy's 7 runs Eibach 1" drop springs with adjustable Konis up front and KYB GR-2s out back, looks and handles great. Bit too much rebound for my liking, but the Konis just need some tweaking.
