suspension choices?

[Scirocco-Al" <scirocco-Al@insight.rr.com (Scirocco-Al)]

I used 7" springs on the set I made.  I bought the springs from Jegs
http://www.jegs.com/ .   They are local for me and had them in stock.  I
paid $37.00 a piece for them.  The brand is QA1 and they are guaranteed to
be within 5% of their marked rate.  Their selection is limited, they have
250,350 & 450's.  These are linear rate springs.  You'll probably pay
$50/$55 for the Eibach's.

I tried 10"s at first.  I got them to fit on the front but was at the limit
of my adjustment.  No way on the rears.  They are powder coated in a
semi-chrome silver.

If you like I can snap a picture of them and send it if you want.

Part numbers are as follows:
122-7-250
122-7-350
122-7-450
