Hello,
When I rebuilt the rear suspension I installed new Bilsteins with the snap ring set at the 3rd slot from the bottom. The 100# springs are new. I read on World that this was a setting used by others. After having the car back on the road for the last few weeks, it seems too low. I am running 185/65 tires. Soon I will be removing the rear suspension to replace the bushings, again, and want to raise the height in the process by about 3/4". What setting on the Bilsteims would accomplish this? |

It doesn't look too low as far as I can tell in your pictures.
I'd go one notch higher if at all. Great looking car, btw!!!! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) |
