Hey gang,
I am a relatively new a/x'er. My PO is my older brother who originally restored my 914 and a/x'ed with SCCA in the 80's. I learned something about my car from him the other day I didn't know. He place removable spacers (about 1 1/2" height) under the rear springs. They are split and held together on the shock by a hose clamp so they can easily be removed for a/x duty, thus lowering the rear end. He swears by this and had the performance to back it up. What do you guys think? I haven't tried it yet, so I don't know what the actual ride height would be before and after. What should I look for? Front height and rear height should be equal? Front slightly lower? I am going to remove the spacers in a day or so and take some measurements. thanks (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer.gif) |
