Front Suspension Lift

Happy with how much better the rear suspension is after adding the coil spring spacers, Damian decided that spacers for the front suspension was in order.


Unfortunately, Damian forgot to measure the height prior to putting the car up on jack stands... The front suspension also has the added problem of clearance for the upper control arm, so the spacer needed to go in the lower third of the spring.


Like that.


And the passenger side - with the added caution required to ensure no fouling on the brake lines would occur!


After dropping back down and taking Retro Rock-It for a test drive to settle the springs, the height gain is immediately obvious.  Driver's side...


Passenger side...


For comparison purposes, here's a picture of Retro Rock-It taken at pre-scrutineering a few weeks back... the front (and rear) suspension are now clearly higher than they were previously!


This time in four weeks Damian will be packing Retro Rock-It ready to head down to the starting line (Wangaratta).  Fundraising has ground to a halt at the moment, so if you would like to help Damian reach his $10K goal, click that big yellow Donate Now button over there!!
