    Spring question

    I have a 66 coupe that has some cut coils on front and they settled too low. The rear has some stock leafs that has a lowering block installed. I like the stance of the rear and the front I would like a little higher. I would like to ditch the blocks and go with reverse eye springs. I'm thinking if going to roller perches when I do the swap. Suggestions on what I need please.

    Front looks perfect!  Reverse eye rears should work, but if you raise the front, you may be tail-down.

    Money you enjoy wasting is NOT wasted money... unless your wife finds out.

    Ok so leave the front. The reverse eye rears will get me where I sit now?

    Nice looking coupe, great stance.
    I like your 17" TT II"S, much better than TT M's
    Take a measurement from the to of the wheel arch to the center of the wheel, which will give you the ride height.
     As the seller of the springs you buy which mid-eye, lower eye springs will duplicat that. If you lower thre rear at all it will raise the front slightly.

    If it ain't broke, I haven't modified it Yet
