i was gonna do a slam bag re6 or re7 depending on fit space ..might just cut more to fit a 7 bag..they say 2500 bag fits with no cutting on regular brackets ,but if i do a re7 bag its only a half inch more without ballooning ,,should work better i hope

Deffinitley cut it for the larger bag in the front, you will be alot happier in the end. I would run a 2600# Firestone instead of a Slam myself, the Slams are too stiff for my tastes. Be sure top get a good set of shocks in the mix as well, Billstiens from RCD would be my choice. Good luck with the project and be sure to throw up some pix too.

It's all personal preferance thing really, I find the Slams to be too stiff for my taste in ride. Don't get me wrong here, they are a good quality product for sure. I would opt for the Firestones just to make the ride that much more plush. I think a car like yours should ride like a Caddy, some ppl would want to hop it. Either bag will do the trick, just figure out what you want out of your setup and choose acordingly. I can guarantee you will be happy with the larger air volume offered by the 2600# bag, less PSI to lift=better ride. As a side note, a friends father has a bagged 65 Super Wildcat that they are prepping to add #2600 bags in the front. The car currently has Shockwaves which apealed to him initially because of their no cutting bolt in mounting . It is taking like 150-160 to lift the front to a good height and you can imagine how the ride at that PSI. Seeing this unfold proved the point that the easiest road isn't always the best one. Good luck on yours man, I love these cars.
