How the mind forgets

[RogerRamRod]

After two years of the car being on either jackstands or a rotisserie, this weekend I dropped it down onto the suspension to fit the sway bar mounts before I paint the underside. I did go with the lower Hotchkis Springs, but holy cow, it looks like a low rider.

maybe your leaning to hard on it?

time for some skyjackers

Ha ha, not so much leaning on, as against. Maybe some skyjackers, but only if I can find some 8 or 9 inch shackles too.

it does seem just a little too low..

 

[diymirage]

is that with gas tank and interior as well?
it might just be easier to sell the set you have and get some taller spring

although I have been looking at images on the net and it's not hard to find cars that are sitting like that...

No interior or glass yet. I put a couple floor jacks in the trunk to simulate the battery, fuel tank, and glass, and a couple welders on the front floors for carpeting, seats, and front glass. Even if it comes up 2 or 3 inches, still seems low after two years of jackstands and rotisserie.

I don't see them coming up
and I agree, looks way to low

I guess the question is : Do you like the way it sits?

My son has the complete Hotchkis suspension on his 72 Scamp. It sits close to that with the stock mounts.

I had only seen this pic on my phone, just now saw it on a larger screen, I look like a grump. Time to start yelling at kids to get off my damn lawn.
