ride height vs crate engine
zz430 clone is installed and running. Scary power! I removed all A/C componets when I did the engine switch. Also gave up the stock fan & went with electric and alum water pump. Now the ride height appears to be too high. Who make good lower springs? Who is VBP?
thanks

Between the aluminum heads and the loss of A/C you probably are 350 pounds light in the front end. Look for springs from a car w/o Air Cond and see if the spring rate is different.

VB & P is Vette brakes and products.... http://www.vettebrakes.com/
I would suggest you go with the 550 springs, i think they are supposed to lower the car 2 inches. I currently have their 460 springs(which are suppsoed to lower the car 1 inch from stock) and I am going to have to cut them to get the ride height that I want. :cool:
