Default Whats the difference

Whats the difference between the HD & B6? I can Not afford to drop height even by a 1/4 inch!.. I believe I might have read in the past that some might be height adjustable . TIA

If comfort is your goal, why are you keeping the stock spring instead of considering Bird's post (#7)?

Actually for a 45 year old car it rides pretty good...Shocks have been in there for 15 years so its just a maintenance plan....What I don't like is the windows do rattle a bit over bumpy roads depending on where they are positioned at the time...I did replace the little cushions inside the door where the window sits....Still a little play in the window.....They are power, maybe the roll up Windows are different.....All good...
