Having a sale on Spohn Suspension parts and couldn't resist temptation to get their new rear coil over kit for G-body cars. My set just arrived this morning and already put them on the car. My initial concern was that I would not be able to get the car as low as I had it with my Hotchkis f-body springs.
Installation took about two hours without a lift and a bad back. Have adjusted them right where the car was riding height-wise as before and still can lower it at least another 1 1/2" if I wanted to. I am measuring 26 1/2" from the ground to the center of the wheel opening molding. This is with 275/60 x15 BFG drag radials on a 15 x 8 rim.
Pretty easy to install, it is recommended that you break the assembly apart and install the t-bar assembly first. Think I could have done it with the shock/spring fully assembled as delivered but think they tell you to go that route so you don't have to struggle getting the t-bar bolts in while trying to hold the whole assembly too.
So here are some pics of them installed on my GN. Will take it for a test drive tomorrow and report back on how I like them (or not!). I ordered them with the 150 lb springs which they recommend for street / strip use.
