Ive wondered about the coils on my 65 chevelle. When we were kids we put spacers in them to raise the car. I would like to raise the front end about 2" higher than factory and the rear as well. any ideas would help.

Also remember that any coils cut off equal a stiffer spring. (higher
compression rate)
