Coil over shocks

Hi guys, does anybody know if there are adjustable coil over shocks out there that fit the original rear of a 69 Charger. I now have Monroe coil overs but I don't like the look of the car now, is a bit to high on the rear. If I have adjustable ones I can lower the rear just the way I like it. Thanks.

The shock crossmember was never designed to support the weight of the car, it was meant to support the shock absorbers and their function. Coil over shocks are a crutch for weak leaf springs.

Hi, I know my leaf springs are weak, they will be repaired. Still want coil overs also.

 You can also add a reinforced bracket to the shock towers.

Just get some MONROE air shocks & keep the PSI under 55 [ Calling all the naysayers]
