Davis is correct, eliminate the BS. Besides ESPO,
you can also contact Detroit Eaton, both of them are on my website's Vendors
List. If you have a automotive spring place in your town, they can also compress
your existing ones for you. Some frame shops have this capabilities also. But I
would personally go with new ones. Note what Bart mentioned about oil pan also.
I had a 71 AMX I lowered in the early 90s thinking
that would look tough, and all I had to do was compress springs. It put a lot of
stress on the rest of the components.
The car was hard turning, and every speed bump and
pothole in houston ended up with a piece of AMX in it. The headers got
sadnwiched and had to change back to original dog legs, as they got 'compressed'
also. The oil pan also took some hits, as did entire muffler system. The front
spoiler (not shown here) was a total loss. Simply a bunch of shit I did not plan
on happened.
The shocks had been changed out, and higher profile
tires to make up difference. But no alignment place would touch it. So pros and
cons on doing this right and wrong; I half assed it on this 71, but it was more
of a experiment also. And would later 'get ir right' on a 78 Pacer station wagon
I customized.
