I'd consider raising the front .5"

tow hooks are on

I'd really like to hear George Carlin's perception of tow hooks on a car of this caliber.

I may have to pay a transport company to bring it to me if I were in your situation. I am terrible at waiting.

Thx Payton!

Glad to see it all coming together. Now the fun begins.

Sieg you might be right. The dirty little truth is that the fronts may rub at that ride height.

Hey Jeff! Man it's been four years. I've trailered this car so many places it's a joke. This car will get driven home. It's about 120 miles and I'm looking forward to it. Might even take the long way home

Sonoma sounds awesome!

I'm thinking suspension travel. .5" up will nail the stance and increase shock travel.

Exciting times!

So that's a funny story. I bucked the trend and ordered longer shocks than what RT thought they should be and what others with the same year/subfr are running. 4.1" of travel with a 10" spring and a 1.67 motion ratio. Originally the car sat high. Sort of like 4x4 high and I'm saying to myself "I f'd up again!" I was ready to and had designed an upper shock relo mount, as my LCA was pointing downhill a couple of degrees. Matt kept telling me to just wait and get the car loaded. I'm also aware good springs don't settle much. But the Hyprecos did. The car is at 23.5" at the center of the wheel to the bottom of the front fender. Same as some guys running the .5" shorter shock. I'm hoping I get plenty of travel...
