I know..."If it's too low...I'm too old". But maybe not in this case.
1976 with a SBC conversion using Renegade and Kennedy parts. Stock rear springs. I'd like it to sit 1 1/2" higher in the rear (I don't want the front any lower). What's the solution? New stock rear springs? 914-6 rear springs? Some after market springs? Adjustable spring plates?

Stock springs are 100lbs and no good for the weight of a V8. 180lb springs are common at most p-car stores. Renegade sells 200lb springs last time I checked that supposedly match better with the stiffer 911 front suspension swap.
Stock shocks will work just fine unless they are dead/leaking. Bilsteins are great for our cars plus have the advantage of some height adjustability. The KYB (white) are valved too stiff and I'd swap them out for a much better ride. |
