I might do that eventually if i stick with the steels,that has just confirmed that i wont lower it now..as much as i know its an old car and unrefined by modern standards i think it would drive me mad. #OLD FART

Harsh ride? What shocks are you running if you don't mind me asking? Please don't say "black Bilsteins" as they are utter sh!te for both comfort and handling.

No mate,the suspension is standard but if anybody had any suggestions as to what is a good spring/shocks combination that would be great as i'm thinking of changing it as it does roll a bit on the standard setup.

Are they standard GM or standard cheapies?

Well despite everything else being renewed or replaced when it was being restored the shocks that were on it when i bought it as a rolling shell looked ok so with money being tight i only replaced all four springs...so probably the shocks could be aftermarket cheapies.
