Suspension question
How can I tell if my front end has been lowered?
Or maybe the rear end raised thereby giving the appearance that the front end is lowered?
I have a 1973 convertible that appears low in the front to me. The tires actually tuck up inside the wheel wells in the front.
Tires are 225/70X15 all around. Any thoughts would be appreciated.

I think we have the same issue. I put an F41 suspension on mine and it looks about the same as yours.I put longer bolts in the rear spring to make it level. Thanks to another poster I am under the impression that the front wheel opening lip should be about 26.5 inches from the ground. yours looks about like mine did before I put the longer springs in in the back. do your tires rub when you make a tight turn?

The car came with a Bloomington Survivor from 2002.
I was told nothing has been changed.
Ok…. maybe, maybe not.
Measurements at the wheel wells are LF 26”, RF 26 ½”, LR 28 ¼”, and RR 29”.
Does that seem about normal?
I am not getting any wheel rub that I am aware of; it just looks lower than most I have seen.
