Another lowering question
when people talk about removing the aluminum or rubber shims on the front spring do they mean the ones towards the center of the spring or the ones that the spring rests on in the a-arm area?? :rolleyes:

Re: Another lowering question (Goody)
You shorten (remove) the rubber pads in the middle part, and the aluminum spacers to compensate. New wedges go against the frame rail between the spring and rails.
Here's some pics of the parts in question:

Tim, that is one beautiful car. :cool:
Nice job on the pictures, however the front doesn't look any lower than it was before you started. :confused:
