Re: [T3] Hydraulic Clutch, Carbs, raise it up.


Nice car!  Love those wheels.

But you have NO suspension in the front, might as well bolt it right to the
body.
You will end up bending one of the lower torsion arms this way if you hit
any kind of rough roads, you also shock load all the bearings and bushings
in the front end and these are no longer available.  Front end parts are
getting too scarce to risk on radical lowering unless your building a
trailer queen or show car that doesnt get driven over rough roads.
