lowrider suspension, set up?help?please?

[ERIK88]

Hi I currently bought a few chevy impalas I would like to make lowriders out of, they will have basic paint jobs no murals or anything extravagant, im going for a moderate lowrider look I often saw cruising. Less is more, jk. . I Have a lot of Pegasus lowrider rims to buy yet, and some old school vintage lowrider rims from hoppping hydros. My question is, how do you get the suspension to look like its doing 3 wheel motion or its lifted from the back/ front?. Does anyone else that is into lowriders have any hints/tips they can share>?

Oh and one more question, I recently bought the Amt 1970 monte carlo again, last one I had was when I was 14, and I only have the front grill left of it now from the old one!, who knows what happen to the rest. Have any of you guys built this as a lowrider? like shown in the pics ? I dont kno what to do with it yet, it looks nice as a lowrider, pro street as well, but for some reason I think it will look nice as a Dragster with racemaster tires from amt. any suggestions?

If your looking to build a "hopper" you will scratch build everything

The AMT '70 Monte Carlo lowrider version provides posable suspension for each corner from what I remember seeing on the instruction sheet, so you could buy one, use the lo-lo suspension on your Imps, and go dragster with the Monte.

Lifted front or rear would be easy enough just manipulating the ride height with styrene blocks for raised shackles under the leaf springs or taller springs on the rear control arms. The front could be lifted by redrilling the spindle below the kit mounting hole or raising with scrap styrene. Three wheel would be a bit tougher. I would imagine having to cut away the front control arms and pinning them to allow them to articulate up and down and having the coils in the rear taller on side than the other. Possibly even wieghting one rear corner to get the car to pose in three wheel position.
