Ride Hight

[edmonds27]

Is there a inexpensive way to adjust the Ride height of the car? Front?

 

[novaderrik]

remove the springs and cut half a coil off.. should drop it about an inch.

Are you trying to make it adjustable so you can drop it or do you want to make it so you can adjust it up and down on a regular basis?

 

[edmonds27]

Making it adjustable would be nice. How does that work?

You can get what's called buckets that go inside a shorter spring. These are hollow tubes with threads on the outside and a ring that can be screwed up or down to adjust ride height. A stock type shock can be used but the spring is shorter than stock.

Are they like AFCO's? Where can I get something like this?

Speedway motors, smiley's racing, lefthanderschasis. Quite a few out there that offer the parts including ebach. You can do front or rear springs and buckets. If you want the easily adjustable rear you can put weight jack in and then you use a 1/2" rachet to go up or down, but get the fine thread ones. The course ones can screw you up since they move quicker up and down.
