Ride Height

[kolynos]

Sitting a bit high on the rear,anybody got any idea where to go next,tried winding the spring up & down but nothing happens. I am using 325lb 9.5inch springs from Gerry..

This could simply be stiction in the strut from lack of use; you might need to free it off by bouncing up and down on th back of the chassis ( might take two people with 325 lb/in springs). Also are you on the upper or lower w/bone mounts?

Actually that did cross my mind but i thought noooo,the weight of the engine should have sorted that,will give it a go & see what happens.Wishbones bolted to lower mount..

Suggest using upper mounting holes and also rolling the car back and forth as you bounce the chassis....

Should be fine for the safari....... ;)

Since there`s no room for a spare,i could mount it on the roof...

It's Ken Tomblin's (Rothmans) car.

This photo has been discussed before somewhere.
