Re: Question about C3 convertibles body height (Rick Church)
Rick check to see if they have replacement springs on them and if the link bolts are the original 6" lenght. The replacement springs tend to lift the rear of the car. I had to go with 8" bolts to get the car back down even around.
I looked at cars at Carlisle but they were either overpriced or junk. There was a blue 70-72 conv on a trailer with no nose and ripped quarter panel for $4,000 :rolleyes:

Re: Question about C3 convertibles body height (Rick Church)
Hmmm...never noticed that. Maybe they had a new spring and needed to lower it. When I replaced my rear spring the arch made it sit much higher. I installed long bolts from Eckler's and lowered it back down. Mine sits perfectly level. :yesnod:
