I finally decided to go with 3" inch lowering blocks on the rear instead of swapping out springs. Here are before and after shots of the same car. I like the new stance and the lowering blocks were only $90, vs. $490 for new springs.
Got bored and made some changes:
Front : 15" X 6" (3.5" BS) Billet Specialties Street Lites with P205/70R15 Cooper Trendsetters
Rear : 15" X 12" (5.5" BS) Billet Specialties Street Lites with 29" X 15.0 R 15LT Mickey Thompson Sportsman S/R radials.
Moved the rear Calvert mono-leaf springs in 3", mini tubbed the wheelwells (can still put the top down), and used a Moser Fabricated 8 3/4" with an Eaton True-trac limited slip. Really, really tight fit but tires clear...

This is my 64 and my old 63 that I sold. I do have another 63 that I am doing now pics to come later but it will be a nice one I hope.

275/60/15s with 8" wheels behind 235/60/15s with 7" wheels.
Old school (60's muscle cars often raked) but I like a slight rise (rear) on the '63 and played with it for awhile (various heights). The fender well cut outs are lower in the car as it is, so if it's pretty level it still gives appearance of lower rear. I put in HD leafs some years back and then last year fabricated shackles allowing about 1.75 in rise over stock. I had air shocks in but the ride was hard. After the disc brake conversion I had to go with 15" wheels and got Coker Magnums 7" with Goodrich radials P235/60 all around. If I would do this again I would go with a wider tire on the rear with an 8" wheel given all the room that remains; but pulled the plug with the heady investment before giving it more thought. In my trials I found a difference with handling if I went too much one way of the other especially dropping the front. As it is the front is pretty close to stock.
