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 |
