Hello Raul,
Were those solo pictures taken out by Yosemite? They look really nice! What springs do you have up front? I'm working a deal with friends at H&R Springs America for a custom set myself.

Hey Lance,

The pictures of the white roadster was from Yosemite..
I loved taking pictures there...you cant beat the background...
The pictures in yosemite , I had stock springs on the car...
But the other pictures....the front was lower..when I put comps
springs on the car..just recently..it went down ..but in my opinion
not enough..Im considering putting panasport and lower profile tires on the white roadster..and I think it could use about another
inch lower...
If you have seen Alvin's Black Roadster...thats the height that I want...

I keep hearing about Alvin's ride height...I might have to talk to him before I attack the front suspension.
Thanks!
p.s. Are you with the Frisco club or Fresno?

Be carefull when making the car really low. You will run into issues with the tie-rods hitting stuff, and if you go really low your oil pan will be in trouble (just ask Alvin. Yes he had the big pan, but still) If you go with bigger wheels they will fill the wheel well better, and still look cool.

Sorry, I find modern engine swaps revolting. Keep your G, R, or U series in your Roadster!

Hey Lance,

Well alvin went through the same thing that you are doing..
He cut his stock springs..but was way too low..
He installed the comp springs..but still not low enough....
He finally got it where he is happy..and I agree...I looks better..
And I think handles better also...

Im with the badroc group.....

Good luck...

Raul
