Default 2" drop spindles on my 68

hello to all>>> i am interestedin installing 2" drop spindles on my 68; the front seems to be no problem. what would be the best option or recommendationon the back (riding durability)? also, will this have any effect on mounting and wheel clearance for 17" on the front and 18" on the back to clear the wheelhouses? any information would be great.......thank you

blade, what would you recommend to have the stance lowered just a couple of inches to hide some of the gap?

i am ano expert; i am just learningon modifying and i am looking for the best outcome.

additional,has anyone purchased these "kits" from summit(edelbrock) that include:cam, intake, heads, lifters, gaskets etc. they run approximately $1500-2000. if so, what areyour thoughts?

as far as the coilovers go, you might want to stay away from them for a street driven car. they get a little tiring after a while because they are more stiff than a traditional shock set-up

as far as those valvetrain kit go, they are a great package to go with. unless you have experience on which engine combinations work best, stick with those kits because they have already done all the research and development for you
