My friend just installed ESPO +1" on his '70 with 275/60/15 rear tires. This is with a full tank of gas too.

Many thanks guys!

ESPO +1'' look great!

I think you will be happy with ESPO springs, again if you have any questions give them a call.

I also installed these HD front spring hanger mounts that have 2 holes.

Using the bottom hole is the stock location, if you think the car sits too high switching to the top hole lowers the rear by about an inch.

It might just be me, but I don't like the look of an e-body as much when it appears to have the trunk full of groceries and squating down in the rear.

I agree but my prefered adjustment to fix the saggy bum 'look' is to drop the nose.  It will reward you in the corners. 

automate, tire size has a lot to do with added height springs looking good/proper. When looking at other guys car pics make sure you are paying attention to the tire they have in there. :alan2cents:

Buy a Moog kit that has all bushings.  PST sells them.  And you might as well upgrade your torsion bars and add a front sway bar if you don't have one.

 :iagree: with Dan, PST offers 1.03" bars that are a nice upgrade.
And buy the moog 'offset' bushings for the upper control arms. More caster = more better.
And do the alignment after you install the new springs.  :alan2cents:
