RE: Phase 2 '67 BJ8
I have rebuilt my front end with Poly bushes, brass adjustable top trunion
bushes (to go negative camber) and 7/8ths front roll bar and tube shock
conversion... I am now looking a front springs.
My understanding is that the stock BJ8 springs are rated about 400 lbs. I
would like to achieve a responsive "fast road" car and am willing to
sacrifice some ride for it, but don't want to feel like every pebble on the
road.
DW and others sell a variety of rated springs (500lbs, 600lbs, 800lbs and
1,000lbs).
Also, I was planning on lowering the car by approximately 1" using spacers
between the lower wishbones and shock plates. However, I note that
shortened springs are also available and am thinking that this might be a
better route.
I would be interested in feedback, experiences and comments.
Thanks
Paul
