dream beams

Has anyone used the 3" / 4" lowering kit from jdm? How difficult was the install? Any opinions on the kit would be awsome. Pictures? Think this is the way I want to go with my 70 but my budget has no room for error in ordering parts. Thanks!

This !! by the time you spend $800 plus on dream beams you will still have CRAPPY split I beams and still have your 40 plus year old worn out steering system and drum brakes the same money converting to a panther chassis will get you disc brakes with dual piston calipers , rack and pinion steering,
a nice sway bar

and the ability to go to any parts store and still get parts

Yea after doing some more research this seams to be the best way to go. It seems like a daunting task as I have never done anything like that before. Guess I just have to get over my own laziness and get it done right the first time
