being an ex suspension tech,i would like to see what you have done.the early suspension was a joke compared to other makes with the center trunnion bushing and the lethal coil springs.although spring removal is easy with the proper amc tool,,i never liked having a spring in the compressed position anywhere near me as i worked on the front end.also 2 tools were needed to drop the crossmember if doing a v-8 conversion on a 6 cyl car,,so the coil over set-up sounds like the ideal switch.posts some pics if possible
