I have a 75 2.0, with 8spoke empi 15" 4 lug, and 195/55 performance tires. Currently have bilistein sport shocks, adjustable with newer #100 springs. When set higher to give better clearance its pretty bouncy, so I moved them down 3 notches to take tension off springs but before I rolled the fender lips they would have almost zero clearance on outside.
Would going to #140s help. I know there is an inch diff in height so if I put the shock setting higher- more pressure on the spring I will get a little higher ride, but will it be too stiff for daily driving and the occasional d.e. on the road course- robeling road? It should bounce less but . Anyone used this combination? I've not had the #140s but have a chance to buy some. Need some I.put to make a decision on this. Thanks Phil I also have stock sway bar with new bushings |

I have 140# springs on red Koni adjustables, stock torsion bars, the big weltmeister front sway bar, 205/60's on 2.0 Fuchs, it's been a fantastic combo for street, AX, DE...the Konis had the 3 position perch in back to adjust ride height so sorting that out was easy. Do it... Snubbers are the rubber stops that prevent metal bashing should you "bottom out" your suspension on a hard bump this was taken before i put the new sway bar bushings in but you can see the slots for changing the silver spring plate location, up on down.
