Subject: Lowering Rubber Bumper MGBs
I have a 1980 MGB-LE which I wish to lower 2" all around. It was my
intention to use the Moss 550 lb. rate coil springs on the front
since they are susposed to achieve a 2" height reduction in rubber
bumper cars. Has anybody done this? Is it sucessful?
I called one of my parts distributors, all set to order up the
necessary components to achieve Stage 3 suspension. He informed me
that in order to achieve a 2" reduction in front ride height, I
needed to use an early style cross member, a smaller crank pulley, a
different style timing chain cover, different steering components,
and do some grinding. This is much more involved than I had been led
to believe. Has anyone done this? Exactly what is involved? Exactly
which components need to be changed?
Advice, guidence, comments pro/con appreciated.
Email direct to DamitDick@gnn.com or DamitDick@aol.com please.
Thanks.
