I think Canley is way out there for Spit parts, but I found a spacer
block to
lower the rear 3/4 inch. My local machine shop wanted $60.00, more if
they
screwed up the first one. I bought one from Canley for $44.72. I had it
five
days later.
The local machine shop redrilled my rear vertical links, to lower the
rear
spring 1" and it looked like a negative camber situation was possible.
Now I
have two alternative positions for lowering the rear spring, which is
new.
Wolfe racing has an adjustable rear vertical link. They are a British
Co. What
is wrong with the US importers? What is wrong with US production for
that
matter? No one in the US offers a spacer block. The general consensus is
have
a spring shop arch or dearch the rear spring. I have not found a spring
company that would dearch a spring for less than $80.00, in Oklahoma.
Why
screw with a new spring, in a press, when other options are available
that
allow you to experiment and return to original specs.
Just bitchin.

Larry,
There is a guy in Phoenix that can answer that question. He has a
Spacer that he told me he wants to take off and have the spring
dearched.
