Thank you very much. That is exactly the information I was looking for. It also tells me mine is already 1" lower then stock at 6 1/2. I will go for 5 1/2 ang I think reversing the eye should put me there...Thanks again

Don't know if it's been mentioned but reversing
the spring eyes will lower your car 1 inch.

Did this happen? Wondering how you made out, what parts you used, shock angles, etc. I'm doing a 39 std tudor and will be adding tube shocks to a lowered car. I haven't decided if I'll do a panhard or sway bar out back yet, sorta want the sway bar up front I think. From the "useless without pics" dept, the car and story can be found here:
