The steering and suspension on the Rivi was WAY overdue so I went through and replaced Springs, shocks, steering, bushings etc. The rear of the car was sagging and a previous owner tried using air shocks to correct the problem. I used Moog springs and with the new ones installed the rear of the car is where I want it but the front end is too high. Has anyone else had this issue? Thanks, Edward
Yes. I am assuming you kept bushings loose and let the car sit before tightening up. I decided even with stock springs the car sat too high in front. I heated the bottom coils to lower the car. It then sat slightly uneven for years but handled well. The second set of springs I cut 1 and 1/2 coil loops out to get the exact height I wanted and to sit even. Either-way, drop the nose on your car so it handles safely, I never undestood why these cars or the A-Bodies sat high in the nose. At highway speed this makes the cars unstable. 1" can make all the difference in the world.
