Afco adjusters with Landrum 8" springs?

[heynow14]

Hey all -

'69 Camaro suspension redo is JUST ABOUT done. Ride height is now getting attention. I have Afco 9.5"h 600# springs and Afco adjusters installed. I helix-cut the adjusters and welded threaded rod...it all works very nicely. BUT even with the adjusters tightened up 100%, the car is about .5" too high. I read repeatedly that Afco adjusters would provide more than enough adjustment to handle anything but evidently not. After going through this process, I am not happy having no downward adjustability. Has anyone else had this experience with Afco springs + adjusters being too short? I read all of the good feedback but I've not heard about this problem before.

I found that Landrum has 8"h X 5"w springs in all popular rates. Based on the math, it appears that these will work. I ordered a pair and will install in the coming days.

Anyone use Landrum springs + adjusters with success?

Thx,
Nick

I used the afco adjusters and 8" springs in my very first pt suspension build. they worked well.

since I had aftermarket flat bottomed lower a-arms, I put the adjusters on the bottom for ease of adjustment. my car was VERY low so I ended up trimming a little off of the bottom of the adjusters to center the collar in the adjustment range at ride. this let me fine tune up or down as needed.

Cool...thx SR71. I'll get some pics posted once this is squared up.
