Re: lowering front end Shackles hang "down" which leads one to see that a "longer" spring allows the shackles to point more at 6 o'clock. Otherwise they're more like 3:30/8:30.
That is up to the point where the shackles have "turned" away from the centerline of the car - but by then you're hitting the post for the spring perch. Probably more properly a question for the HAMB network. But once you see the geometry (and the limitation) in ones mind's eye... Joe K |
Re: lowering front end Posies front spring is 1001-L
rear spring is 29-31R both lower about 2.5" Warren |

29", 30", & 31" springs are made for aftermarket axles with narrower spring perch centers. I've put 31" springs on stock width '28-'36 axles; not sure how a 30" would work but I imagine a 29" spring would be stretched out pretty flat. I would believe the ride quality would drop with the spring spread out of it's design parameters. If you want a low good riding spring on a stock axle, a Posies 1001L would be a good choice. |
Re: lowering front end I used a '32-'36 front axle to get a 1" drop. then a Posies reversed eye spring for another 2-2.5". I hate the look of dropped axles. https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...162555_(1).jpg

Re: lowering front end Your car may actually sit higher with a new spring than it does with a worn out old spring.

It looks like you used the stock style steering arms as opposed to the "drop axle" style. Did you have any problems? I am looking at the same axle for my 1930 Tudor. Thanks. |
Re: lowering front end Looks clean!
