Jim Rogers:

Can't help you on lowering the back end
of your Frog, however, the "proper" attitude for the stock bugeye is
slightly
"tail high", anyway.

The rear springing on a stock Frog is pretty stiff to begin with,
really.

Unless you want a truly "teeth rattling"
ride (and a pounding which cannot do the
structure of the "daily driver" much good,
assuming "normal" public roads), I'd
recommend new, stock rubber bushings
and trailing arms.

Really, it's already a very "stiff" set-up
back there, bone stock, which resulted in
pretty good oversteer with the stock car
(which can be an awful lot of fun in "dry"
weather conditions!).

If anything, the stock rear set-up could do
with a bit of "softening" for a better ride and frankly, safer handling
characteristics
in "all weather" conditions.
