love the red cars. Jebby yours looks real good to me.
This is my 76.It has been shared a few times I guess I need a new background. Maybe Ill take a cruise later and get a light house behind it. It has VB&P adjustable front and rear also. Tires are Michelin Pilot Super Sports 245 40 18 front and 275 40 18 rear.
What's the story on the front end? You say '76, but I spy chrome.

Good eyes yes it does have a chrome conversion done to the front and rear. The rubber bumpers where in need to be replace and I replaced the front with an aftermarket truu-flex and it fit like ***. I went with a different style as seen that could have been bolted on or bonded.
I'll go out on a limb here. By the spec sheet shown above, the Z and D heights are almost equal. I have stock BB F41 springs. The Z is wherever it ends up at until they settle. For the D height, I adjusted the rear ride height until the halfshafts were parallel to the ground with 1/2 tank of fuel and my weight in the driver's seat. I made a spacer to go between the diff and inner strut rod mount to lower the mount so the strut rods were parallel to the halfshafts. This was done with the sway bars disconnected. The sway bar ends links were re connected so there is no twist in either bar.
FWIW-In my opinion you want the front slightly lower than the rear. The rear should always be slightly elevated...just look at any modern day sports car..any make. What you absolutely do not want is a rear sagging relevant to the front height either with no passengers or even with 2 people on board the car. A lower rear versus the front will also adversely effect proper handling. MANY C3's sag in the rear and, frankly, look awful....my opinion.
