Suspension Lowering

[david crooks <david.crooks@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Armand,

I don't know how it affects the amount of suspension travel,
but if I had a '70 AMX instead of my '69, I'd talk to Ron
Waters about his coil over front kit:

Ron's a nice guy (former lister) who road races at Road Atlanta,
so know's a thing or two!

Cheers,

Dave

I couldn't help but get interested in the conversation about
leaf springs.  Especially since I believe I will be in the
market for them myself some day soon.
I do not want to loose very much suspension travel but I do
want to lower my 70 Javelin somehow some day.  Has anyone done
this?  I did get some great information from a guy in Texas about
how to lower the front and not loose travel but I'm still trying
to figure out a way to drop the back and not loose too much travel.
So far all I can come up with is to place blocks between the axle
and spring and then move the suspension bump stop to the inside
of the frame and raise it up some with a bracket. What do you
guys think?  Has anybody seen the 70's Trans AM cars up close ?
How did they drop them?

thanks,

Armand
