Morning!
I FINALLY got my '74 back on its feet and running. Her butt is riding low. I read a few of the posts here but still fuzzy. I have Koni Reds and I read that they have an adjuster. But it that for firmness of ride height? It's just a commuter so I don't need anything wild. Do I adjust the shocks, put in bigger springs, progressive springs? Bump up to 200lb springs? I see the adjusters you can buy. Thanks! |

This becomes an aesthetic thing. And pics help a TON.
As stock these cars for US delivery had a raised front end due to US headlight rules. So your car may just be a stock ride height. Personally, if your rear is low, I think you should lower the front to match and then get it aligned. Zach |

Thank you!
I'll take some photos but the front does look high now that you mention it. There's like an inch between the top of the tire and the wheel well.
