    Ok, so here is the followup to some questions I posted on here about using El Camino springs on a early fifties Buick. The springs are much shorter but fit up perfectly. It seems I may have to shorten the bump stops or get shorter ones, but it looks cool as hell if you ask me. I am not sure of the ride yet because I ran out of time to test drive last night, but have a look, it seems the El Camino springs may be a winner.

    Did you use the El Camino springs only in the front or also in the rear?
