Yes, new name for 2018 and I think they tweaked the formula a bit.

Purchased a new spring compressor and measured factory height front and back prior to install. I measured from centerline of wheel to bottom of factory fender flares front and back.

Front = 22.0 inches
Rear = 24.75 inches

We might have the same blood line somewhere along the line, in fact I think you might be my western doppelganger... LOL
In my driveway is a 2018 Lead Foot Special Edition SCREW, my garage contains a fox body Mustang AND DAM I need more of that 68' Chevelle!! My first car was identical; same color, vinyl top, SS badges and hood (mine was a clone). Out of all the awesome cars I've had over the years, that's the one "that got away." I sold it around 99' and never saw it again.

Dang, sounds like an excellent choice in vehicles.................My SS is an original 138 one owner car, it's in the 1968 Chevelle SS registry, I'm the second owner of course.

I'll give feedback once I install them. Life got busy and the weather got bad the last few weeks..........soon thought I'll get them installed.

What a beautiful car! If I could find mine again, I’d over pay for it... LOL. Even if it was a basket case, I’d probably still buy it back.
