Nice car you got there by the way !
Cheers! I refitted the spring assistors that came on the car when I got it but they made about 12mm difference in the ride height so its now stiffer but still no taller......... :roll:

Anyway may see you up at Shaky sometime this year? Not sure which meeting we'll be going to as yet though :?

The best way to achieve a higher rear is to get the springs re tempered.
You can say how much more arch they have in them.
Think Anton knows a fella who does them.

Reminds me of my old Charger's rear set up when I got it....wide tyres held up by air shocks. Yep they bounced up to the wheel arch trim. Get rid of air shocks was what I was advised.

I went with hemi leaf springs and changed down tyre size....another option if you want the extra ride height is Caltracs. Didnt fit them on mine as I preferred the look of the layered hemi springs rather than a one piece. But they would keep the height you want
