Back is done, on to the front (later in this thread)
Hey guys, Starting winter projects: Rear Brakes/Suspension are up first. -This is a street/daily driver. Just trying to get the sagging ass up and improve the ride quality. - So far I've got New: 100lb 914rubber upper and lower shock rubber bushings Plan is to buy: Rear control arm bushings (914Rubber) Rear Caliper Rebuild Kit (If that seems beyond me I will send to PMB) Discs and Pads will be addressed as needed once I get it all apart. Turn the discs if needed or replace with new pads. We shall see. Any suggestions on anything else with the rear brakes/suspension?? Thanks all! -Rob Front Suspension/Brakes will be part 2 of the project. Just trying to keep it manageable and on budget ish |

Here is a side view pic. The ride height is too high and the back of the car is on jack stands making it look even worse, however, I don't think this is my issue. I believe it is the stock valance.
I'm also now thinking the formula for front ride height is not working with the rivieras...ugh Attached thumbnail(s) |

I'm also now thinking the formula for front ride height is not working with the rivieras...ugh maybe too much negative caster or something wrong with the suspension that makes the center wheel towards the front since the picture show there is a lot of space at the rear side. and the lower valance seems bent that makes it leaning inside or that was cause by the tire rubbing to the valance? |
