hi everyone,
im a newby here on this forum and am looking for some help.
heres the project, i have a 1956 studebaker and i have installed C4 suspension from a '94 vette. The rear end worked just fine but when i installed the engine and tranny the front uni-leaf was too strong i geuss, and the car is obviously lighter than a vette and i really want it to sit lower in the front. im looking for about a 3 inch drop from what i got. so i have two questions:
Whats the best solution, an adjustable coil over shock system, air ride front end, or does anyone or ecklers or someone make a drop uni-leaf for the front end that would give me the 3inch drop but still utilize the leaf set-up?
Would changing the suspension on the front compromise the superior handling that corvette suspension would bring to my studebaker or would this still be an upgrade? I really want the corvette handling and was just wondering if this would compromise that.
I would really appreciate all the help i can get, plus i will have some other questions because we are messing with the steering too and when i figure out what i wanna ask i will. thank you everyone, i really appreciate the help.
ps--- just so everyone knows im not just a corvette poser my dad and i have a '72 stingray that we drive/work on, just so yall know that i am actually a corvette partial owner,, thanks again.
