Another Ride Height question

[Shawn63]

Hi Guys

 

Whuts up?

 

I have a 71 SS car,and have a couple of questions.

 

Info first though,I have replaced the front coils with the Moog 454 non a/c springs and Monroe sensitrac shocks

I replaced the rear coils with Moog CC501 Cargo coils and Monroe shocks.

I also have air bags in the rear coils.

I have 235/60/15 tires

 

Sooo,with about 18 psi in the air bags I am approx. 10.5 inches from the rocker to the floor at the rear and about 8.5 inches at the front.

 

My feeling is that the front is too low,and I would like to get even height from front to back

 

The old long tube headers are flat on the bottom from bottoming over the years,and need replacement.

 

Thanks Shawn

spring spacers, or as I call them "shims"

 

but remember...whatever thickness shim you use will actually double the amount it raises the car

Thanks Sam

Were these cars low from the factory?

In other words is the front height I have the original spec approx.?

they sat pretty low stock, but if you raised the rear some, it puts more weight on the front
