**73 Scamp Mini Pro-Street Engine Swap**
Well that is about where I need to be on ride height.
I just got off the phone with Calvert. The max they offer is the -1 springs and they can move the eyelet to center to get another 1/2" or so. So max would be 1.5" lower than stock.
The guy on the phone was telling me there is another way to do this. You relocate the front spring hanger 5" forward and use the -1" Spring that is 5" longer on the front part of the spring. Tire Location stays the same and leave the rear hangers as they are. He was saying they do this a lot when guys are willing to make the mod and that the car will ride better and 60' faster then with the sliders. This is another option that I will be looking at. He was saying by moving the hanger forward 5" it will lower the car but I need to look at that cause I believe it will actually Raise the car because you are going LOWER on the frame rail for the spring attachment point. Hmmm
Also I would need to get longer bars for the caltracs or build them which would be no big deal.
YES, mine are the 1" lower then stock. my wheels are 17x11" with 345-45-17 tires.
they measure out to be 28x12.5"
