Here is the first pic of the car with the new VB 460lb. springs installed.
I think the front is sitting way to high. In the next couple of weeks I will cut the springs and
lower the front just a bit.
Here it is after I cut one complete coil, now at 27.5" it is just right.

This is my Beige/Cinnabar (soon to be Beige/Black) 81 350 automatic under construction during the front end rebuild.

This is what I started with, as you can see the 20 year old front control arm bushing were shot!!!

 ... ... ...
So off they came, cleaned, painted and new original rubber bushings pressed in.

Here is a bit of info, if you ever do this check for cracks here. This is where I found mine lower control arms cracked.

Here is before/after..Everything cleaned, painted, new 460lb. coil springs, ball joints, tie rod ends, brake lines..etc..etc..etc
