Can't bring the front down evenly?

The front has custom coilovers in it and is sitting at it's highest(got about 30mm + lower it can go) so it's nice and comfy with full travel. It's sitting pretty well perfectly and only just scrubs on some corners.....but I've got some camber tops to go in which will raise it 10mm or so, so I'll have to wind it down off the highest point to get it back down to where it is now, but I need to devise a way to get the rear down a tiny bit.

Ah okay, that's pretty sweet.
What's the rear setup like?Comment

Just reset leaf springs and some shortened heavy duty shocks. Bump stops are chopped in half so there's a bit of clearance and doesn't hit them. It's actually pretty comfy all round for a 45 year old car with a pretty basic set up that's about 4-5in lower than stock. As much as I **** lowering blocks because they're dodgy(mostly when 2in or 3in+ though), I'm thinking I might get some custom machined 10mm ones made up to get it that little bit lower. I can't really think of any other way.Comment

Yeah, I figured it'd just be leaf rear but didn't want to be wrong!
10mm lowering blocks seem legit. I've got 20mm engine spacers to put in Lucy at some point. Have to get the oil pan up off the ground. But engine going up means I'm definitely going to need to notch the subframe.Comment

I like the rake, looks agressive. If you lower the rear to get it more even from sills-to-ground, it'll look like you have reverse rake from guard-to-tyre.

True, but it should still have a little rake with only 10mm. It's not so much about evening it out, it's more about wanting the guard to sit on top of a 14in wheel. With camber tops and some negative dialed in, I can always wind the front down a little more too to get a little rake back....I do hear where you're coming from though Anth.Comment

Half asleep at 7am rolling into the cars and coffee meet that was on over the past weekend. Added the front lip a few days before the meet. I've been driving at this height lately, front lip hits the road on bumps, but its refreshing to drive low after riding all up for the first few weeks of air ride.

Took the old girl out of storage. Washed it. Went for a drive, had a quick run with a new HSV GTS and locked the car up again for another few months. I really want to put some different wheels on it but I just can't decide what to do....

It's an MG colour would you believe. It's called Trophy Blue or Cool Blue.Originally posted by Beware View Post

Plus it's stupid loud and I have not had the best of luck with cars and defects. I also feel, rather unfortunately, that the value of these things just keeps going up so I don't want some idiot crashing into it.Originally posted by danielsahhhn View Post
But on the right road on the right day it's just unreal.Comment

Sounds exactly like my old 808 wagon. No heat/A-C, agressive track built, carby fed bridegport 13B, and very very rowdy!!! I can get where you're coming from with the traffic thing and temps, but just choose your days and where you go.....it needs to be driven more, it's beautiful! The value of everything old is going up, maybe not as quickly as something like that, but that shouldn't discourage you from enjoying it!Originally posted by unusual View PostComment
