Title: general, 57 Fairlane town sedan
Post by: zetterberg on 2011-04-17 12:04
Guys, thanks for all your help, I would be lost without you guys. Last year I rebuilt my front end, including new coils and new rear springs on my 57. I also put on new 15 ss cragar mads 225/75 R15 radials. Some of the guys in my club say the car is sitting to high. Is this possible, and if so what can I do.  The car does sit level.  :canada:

Just might be it is where it is supposed to be with new springs.  Give it a few miles for things to settle out and see where you are at then.  If then you think it is too high then action can be taken.  I myself like em down in the weeds!

I have put about 2ooo miles on the car like this, and checking out other 57's it is high. What can you suggest?

Start with one coil cut off the front and 2" blocks in the rear.  Make sure your shackles are correct, the spring should be between the hanger and the frame.
