   I have them on my 78 Spit with Koni's.  They lower the front end of the 
   car by about 1.5", no clearance problem with my 185/70 tires although
   the ride is a little more stiff.

   I don't know about a Kenlowe but I have put an Hayden 10.5" electric
   fan into my car as a puller.  I had to make up some brackets to mount
   the fan.  It works very well and it keeps the engine cool during the
   hotest Montreal summer days.  Here are some pictures and it you look
   closely you can see the painted blue springs in some of the pictures.
