I need some info, I'm looking to have that raked stance to my 96' RMW...

I know its another endless thread about this but its quite mind boggling and all these part numbers...

But like I said looking for a raked stance, what's the best options? I have an commercial account with my local pep boys so I'd probably order from there...

For $hits and giggles post up some pics of your raked wagon too...

Thanks in advanced!

If you change just the front springs to drop springs you will get the raked look. I put 2 inch drop springs in front and back and then 2 inch drop spindles on it and got a nice rake. You might not like the ride height, but you could put drop spindles on the front and get the same rake, just higher off of the ground. The Impala springs would give you a halfway point for the ride height. You have to remove 0.030" of shims from each upper arm stack for every 1/2 inch of drop to correct for negative camber. If you use just the drop spindles, your adjustment for the camber should near "0".

I've almost got everything figure out after a hell of alot searching but now I'm trying to figure out now for the rear if I should get CC625's or the CC623's?

Anyone shed some more light on this please?

it depends how you want to achieve your rake. The CC623 will raise the rear slightly. The CC625 won't, and will require a shorter spring in the front to give the visual effect you want.
