    i did some mods on the wagon these past few days. just thought i'd do a little show n tell.:thumbs2: i lowered it in the rear, doing the front in a couple days.. also took the reducers off the lt1 and made a little "intake" . also blocked off with the ol' hockey puck. haha. just let me know what you think i also put a "as i first got it" picture at the end.

    Hard to cut the rear springs on a B-Body because of the wind. But I have found that if you want a big drop in a B-Body wagon us G-Body rear springs. I did that and cut a coil and a half off the front springs. BTW great job Camber. Looking good.

    Did you use a pickle fork to break the ball joints loose? BTW the G-body springs give a great drop. I will try to post an updated pic when the car is running again. Should be by the end of the week.
