Re: [T3] one thing more


Oh yea... there could be a host of clearance problems... you may have to use
different tire sizes.  Alot of things have to be considered even when using
lowered spindles.  Problem with our front ends is that the suspension
travel, even at stock height is very small, get the car loaded with 4 people
and your down close to the snubber already, so you take out what little
travel thier is and you start creating a very harsh ride and shock loading
the beam innards or risk bending a lower arm in a pothole.

No simple answers, or solutions, at least for those that drive their cars
over roads that are less than silk smooth.
