The 140 lb weltmeister springs I have are supposed to lower the car an inch but I think there is travel room to be lower. What is the preferred method for going lower in the rear? Cutting?

In the front I can adjust the torsion bars to go as low as needed right? I haven't done it but it looks pretty simple. Any other methods?

thanks

till your floor jack don't fit no more.

general rule of thumb is keep the A-arm parralell to the ground. and a slight forward rake.

you'll need a set of adjusteable perches for the rear ...

low is gud until you run out of shock travel. then low is dangerous ...

for the rear, the correct method is to use adjustable perches like Andy mentioned....

Koni Yellow and Bilstiens come standard with grooves in the shocks that allow you to move the perch up and down in about .50" to .75" increments with the use of a cir-clip

For fine tuning, threaded collars are sold for the Konis and Bils. or if you are cheap like Mike, you adapt threaded collars to your stock Boge shocks.
