no, but it won't lock up very high... If you go with 8's in the rear, coil over isn't practical, there won't be enough coil for a decent ride... go with at least 10's in the rear and run coil over.

 

[lone star]

on my 64 i have 8" in the rear, and coil under...im not much for the cars that lift up high in the rear, i like to lift up and be level.

 

[lone star]

also if u go with 8" u probably wont have to notch the frame for the driveshaft...i didnt and i can ride locked up with no rub. its all personal preference i guess

Coil under looks nicer to see chrome spring and gives a little better ride. Coil over is rigged, but locks up high as fuck. The cylinders rub on the frame though :angry: I ran coil over for conv top clearance :biggrin:

I think coil unders look hella ghetto, fuck i got one in my cutty right now and im changing it sooon. It even looks worse when you pop a coil, i havent done it yet but i couldnt imagine how hurtin it would be if you were tryin to 3 wheel for some bitches and your car pops one out..... just my opinion

 

[PLANETGETLOW]

Coil Over for me.......Any pics of some installed?

Coil under looks ghetto on your car because you probably have a fuct up undercarriage. If it was ugly, show cars wouldn't do coil under. There is no price difference so it is not a money issue.

 

[badass 64]

i personaly find coil unders to be cleaner, thats the og style, but i would never run it on a hopper or a car that lifts more than 10" or stands 3.
i will mount coilunder on my daily.

It won't be a daily and it won't be a hopper.......I want high extension w/out moddin' anything - 10's on the rear


now what would you do?

 

[WANNADANCE]

10's and coil overs with power balls. This way you have less of a chance of bending your pistons. Power balls gives you 360 movement while the spring gives you about half and with pressure which is something you wouldn't want

Though it's my opinion and not my ride but if it was this is how I would do it.

 

[BigNasty85Regal]

10s a coil-over set-up :biggrin:
