Bob3 Posted October 7, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 7, 2012 I removed the front springs and reinstalled the front struts without them to see how low I want it. I removed the rear "U" bolts from the axle to see how low I want that end too. I like it at this height, 23" front and rear to the top of the fender arch. Ignore the tape thing on the front of the car. I'm working on some airdam ideas. 1 Quote Link to comment

Duke Posted October 9, 2012 Report Share Posted October 9, 2012 I'm still waiting to see pictures of the so called "Rat Coupe". The car that I see in the pictures is much to clean to be called a rat! Nice find Bob, I'm looking forward to seeing this car progress. 2 Quote Link to comment

RedBanner Posted October 9, 2012 Report Share Posted October 9, 2012 That looks like the perfect height, did you peek at the bump stops or snubber for clearence? Wondering how much travel you had at that height. I removed the front springs and reinstalled the front struts without them to see how low I want it. I removed the rear "U" bolts from the axle to see how low I want that end too. I like it at this height, 23" front and rear to the top of the fender arch.

Bob3 Posted October 11, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 11, 2012 After sitting for unknown years with NASTY gas in the tank. My gas tank was BAD inside! It looked very nice on the outside. I had it boiled out and it came out NICE! Quote Link to comment
Bob3 Posted October 13, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 13, 2012 I tackled the front struts on the 710 today. I used '82 Rabbit strut cartridges because they are 80mm shorter. I lowered the spring perch 40mm and shortened the strut 80mm. I then cut 3 coils off the stock springs and put it all back together . . . and . . . it works! Before lowering the perch After cutting 80mm and lowering the perch 40mm New ride height ! 2 Quote Link to comment
