Looks much better with the lower stance, nice work!.
Can someone please explain how this is done (what adjustments etc) I might do the same to my ride.
Thanks

Front end is lowered using the torsion bar adjusters (3/4" bolts that face down through the lower A-Arm), but only use this to lower it no more than an inch or so, otherwise you will really screw up suspension geometry's.  The rear can be lowered with new leaf springs or a lowering kit.

I happened across an episode of Nash Bridges yesterday. Man, that car had a LOT of ground clearance. I think all four tires were fully exposed. Raised has an aggressive look. Even with the 15's on that car it looks like you could walk under it with your hat on. Proably nice for doing any work on the creeper

Did you lower the front some more?  Now to me it looks a little too low in the front.  I would either go back up a little, or get to work on lowering the rear.

[challngd73]

no, I didnt lower it anymore...but I will probably bring it up a hair more, as it just barely rubs at full lock.  I will lower the rear sometime this month.

Did you check the bumpstops?  Looks good, how old are the rear springs?  They may settle a bit if new.

I havent checked the bumpstops, where are they?  And the rear leafsprings, I have no idea how old they are, the guy I bought the car from wasnt very knowledgeable of the car.  They dont look new, but arent rusty or anything either.

The bumpstop is a triangular piece of rubber up inside the wheel well that the upper suspension will hit when compressed.  If you push down on your front end, how far does it go before you hear a thud and it won't go down any more?

Lower it more, this is pretty much stock with decranked torsion bars up front. 295s in the rear and 255s up front really fill things up though..

I was going to run 17's and 18's on my barracuda but went with 17's at all four corners. In my opinion it looks way better now that before. Lowering the back would look good to.
