Lowering a convertible- halfway there
So, I've got the spring out. You always run into "fun things".
One rotor fell off, the other one was rusted onto the hub.
The C-clamps that hold on the spring took some "finessing" to urge them to get out.
I was able to jack one side up enough to snake the spring out. <phew>
I recall that the verts had slightly higher ground clearance. How did they do this? What's the difference between the vert spring mounting and a coupe?

Thats how its done in the front.The only thing the wedges do is keep the spring off the frame in the front.Years ago before there was a wedge kit I had a shim made out of polyethelene plastic and put this between the spring and frame.
