Hi folks,
Now that I have my car running well it’s time to start making it handle how I want and would like some advice. It’s a 74 2.0 Here’s what it has now, Front sway bar (factory) Stock torsion bars Struts, not sure but the car came with a used set of konis (rebuilding konis an option?) Rear Kyb’s these I’m thinking about replacing with bilstiens with adjustable spring perches 140# springs, I’m thinking 100# to replace them Tires are old 205/60/15’s that I’m planning on replacing with 185/70 vredestein I’d like to raise the car up a bit for ground clearance and comfort but not compromise handling too much. I’d appreciate anyone’s thoughts. Thank you, Steve Attached thumbnail(s)

Great advise from everyone and THANK YOU! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)
Vreds and Konis ordered and I'll report back. In the meantime, I installed a temporary seal fix for the rattly roof and needed to test it out. weather strip It was also the first time I tried the heater out and the car got to see a little snow. These heaters work great! Attached thumbnail(s)
