Re: lowering front.

I've measured the height on level(ish) ground for a rough idea and it's around 600mm from ground to the wheel arch. This seems quite low or is this about right?? Cheers rhys

Re: lowering front.

I'm located in Kidderminster so not a million miles away from you Chris and any help would be great. Are the standard lowering blocks too low or was it just personal preference??

Re: lowering front.

The car is a 67 and i have seen the lowering blocks but as i just read they are 1.5inch drop so ill have to do the front the same i guess. The bump stops all seem relatively new and ill reshape and cut them down. Its the spline part of the process that I'm not sure about so I think I'll have to get ...

Re: lowering front.

Cheers Phil and Roy. I did only want to lower it slightly not slam it and had read one thread that said you can lower it using the adjuster plates by moving them side ti side but I didn't know if this was okay to do. Changing the oil in the dampers is on my things to do allso.

I want to lower it slightly because I like the look to be honest and as it's not a show car by a long shot so I don't...

lowering front.

I wanted to lower the front of my car just by a 1inch or there abouts nothing drastic and was wondering what the most simplistic way of doing this is? I've read up of a couple of different options of people who have done it and some one said they can do it at the side of the road. Would this be a jo...
