You might be heading for some disappointment. Making the PT level at the rocker panels (measured from the rocker panel to the ground) effects only that area. The beltline rises on the side frome front to rear. Measure from the beltline to the bottom of the doors at the side mirror. The make the same measurement as far back on the rear door as you can before it curves up. Having the PT level at the rocker panels does not make the beltline or roof level. You'll have to be dragging rear to make the top level.[:I]

Skeeter, this photo is with those springs on it. I have 17" wheels on as well.
Beautiful car, R3dWhitNCrz! That's how DC3s should look, Silver or white on top![?][|)]

I may qualify as cheapo of the week, but here goes:

If you have an air supply, just let air out of the rear tires until the rims are 1.5" lower. Step back and look at the car. Go down to 2" and look again. Decide which way you like it best. Or take pics and decide between them.

P.S. DON'T try driving on tires before back up to normal psi.

I would not suggest just changing the rears. When I was doing my springs last year I did the rears one day and the fronts the next. As I drove around the night in between, the difference in the spring rates between the aftermarket rears and the stock fronts really threw off the handling. I could not wait to get the fronts on the next day. I would not want to drive long term like that.

QSDon, Thanks for the props!
Skeeter drop me a note, I still have the springs and will hold them until you work things out.
