with adjustable shocks, are you adjusting the height of them (lower or higher) which would affect the ride height of the car, or are you adjusting the firmness/softness of the shocks with no relation to height (which is what i've always thought). just curious. I've never done any reading up on them, so i'm curious.

No need to say it really, but Chaman, the car looks great.

That happens. His springs are really popular among f-bodies.

I was lucky and got a set at the end of January when he still had the shipment from around Christmas.
