Hi Don
     I have installed them in my car .......it is only a rolling 
chassis right now though but the suspension has a lot of adjustment.
  However don't be misled ...the shocks aren't adjustable just the 
springs......the decision to use that style of spring/shock set-up
is that the street rod guys use it as well as the stock car 
guys.......it seems to work for them.
   As I said when I first wrote about these shocks be sure you get the 
correct "ends" for your application.I had to fab new brackets for the 
rears on my car ( I was going to anyway)          
               Cheers Dave #5577
