Morning!
I FINALLY got my '74 back on its feet and running. Her butt is riding low. I read a few of the posts here but still fuzzy. I have Koni Reds and I read that they have an adjuster. But it that for firmness of ride height? It's just a commuter so I don't need anything wild. Do I adjust the shocks, put in bigger springs, progressive springs? Bump up to 200lb springs? I see the adjusters you can buy. Thanks! |

stock factory settings back in 89 in chicago. on boges. ride height at rear is a one hit outcome. front set high where factory had it. car was original one owner when i got it.
 these days on billstiens. rear perch on billstein selected closely matching original perch on boges. car set up level from there. sits a tad higher at rear than original. could easily lower rears by one perch and level it out again lower all round. but kind of like it at this setting. rides nice through harsh bumps.  |
