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? (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/farm2.staticflickr.com-20876-1527303802.1.jpg) Thanks! |

Rennegade hybrids sells the springs that go on the stock perches that will fit your needs well...
I wouldn't drive with stock springs. I bet you have 140s in there now or you they would be much lower. |
