Hello,

I have been away for about 3 months now because I have been in Basic Training for the ARMY. I am home for Exodus for a about another week or so, so I figured I would do a little research on some modifications I want to do.

I have a 1964 544, fair condition. It was given to me almost a year ago and I have been slowly but surely making it a daily driver. What I want to do is either lower the whole car and set it up as a "Cruise" car for Friday nights or put air bags on it for the ride and the look. Up for cruising, down for sitting. Another option I had thought about is going with a mild drop on the front and bags on the back.

Has anyone tried this on the PVs?

Have any of you heated the springs for the drop, or have you bought drop springs?

Would air bags work with teh rear suspension that we have? I mean with just adding the cups for the bags to sit in. OR would it be a very large kustomization job?

Anyone out there know who has the best lowering kit for the front? Will another car's front springs work. The fox body maybe?

So many more questions, but don't want to make this 8 pages long in questions only.

I would really appreciate a responce and hope everyone has had and/or is having a very Merry and Safe Christmas and/or Holiday season.
