I can see how using cut-down springs, for example, could change the geometry.
But what I am wondering is why one couldnâ??t just install the entire front
suspension from a CB car, including the crossmember, thereby duplicating the
ride height and geometry of the original design? I donâ??t believe the RB cars
changed the tub or the attachment points of the crossmember, did they? Itâ??s
possible that I donâ??t know what Iâ??m talking about, however â?? I have never
had anything to do with RBs.
