I enjoy the soft (er) ride that has evolved of the last 36 years from my TIRED original springs...The rear is about one half inch lower than I prefer. The question is ..does anyone make "spring spacers" which would allow the continued use of my old soft springs. this is a street car only....period. advise appreciated.

Well mikez, I am trying to maintain SOME ground clearance., I am using 205-50 -15 tires...and the backup set of 195-60-15s are virtually the same diamenter/height....and I just don,t want to HAVE to install a steering rack,tie rod spacer kit to maintain a proper alignment/ front end geomentory (sp)....However the alternative, as you have pointed out, is to lower the front end. If I have to do this it will require a complete ,castor ,camber,toe ,ackerman effect, check on the front end alignment......more work I know, than stuffing in a couple of spring spacers.
