New mags, had to install coil-overs to adjust ride height.

Nice! Definitely a 60's look.

Very nice, looks great!

Looks great!
Those are fat tires!, what size are they?

UMI Viking

Tires are 235 60-15 front and 245 60-15 rear

Looks great! How does it ride and drive with the new tires?
-
Looks nice - again. How much did you have to raise it to stop the tires from rubbing ?
Just needs a custom set of ‘65 Bird centers to make it perfect.

It sits at 24 1/4", no issues at all. Can't believe what a difference the coil-overs made in the ride quality and handling. Super happy with it.

Looks really good. Any issues with rubbing when turning ?

Lock-to-lock, no rubbing at all.

Sweet ! I think the stance is great.
When I went to the new wheels and tires on our GS, it required new springs in addition. Now it sits a touch higher then my preference.

Mine sits a bit higher than I would like too. Trying to figure out what my next step is. Was considering coil overs, but heard the ride quality suffered quite a bit. Sounds like UMI Viking might have the secret sauce though. Will have to look at those.

With the coil-overs, there are several combinations of adjustments to change the ride quality, they are unbelievable.

The upside of the new springs is that I can now drive it again. :thumbsup: So I can live with that.

That's a very valid point Loren. Mine drives fine with the springs that are in it as well. One of the reasons I haven't pulled the trigger on an ultimate solution.
