Station wagon springs should do it.
Don't use shocks to try to add additional ride height, ride stiffness will increase dramatically. Air shocks are the only shocks that can increase ride height, but again not the ideal way to do it. |

I've used springs out of a B body...a full size car. It gives a nice rake without looking jacked up.

Back in the mid 90's I had Custom Spring Specialties make me a custom set of springs.
I asked for .75" over stock for my '64 GTO convertible and that's exactly what I got. Their website: http://www.coilsprings.com Just tell them what you want - they'll make it...

B man is correct
best bet is a set of station wagon springs good rake and a nice ride shocks wont affect hight and good shocks will wear out just as quickly as cheap shocks if your springs are bad. no way around that. your really dont want to go stiffer because frame and body end up absorbin more of the force rather than the springs. criticle on a convertible |

Well the boxed trailing arms with the sway bar on the rear, and installing drag bags in the rear springs was the TICKET!!! Wow just what i needed, no sway on turns, running low air pressure on bags, just enough to lift the rear 1.5 inches.
Thanks Guy's your the best, pictures to come! |

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
