I've been driving around for some time with sagging rear springs and the the front lowered 1" to match. Looks nice to me, but I'm tired of scraping the exhaust. I just had a guy make a Y-pipe for my split headers and I don't want to wear it out.

So when I rebuild the front end, I plan to set the ride height to stock - or maybe lowered 1/2" in front. The tires will be 0.7" taller than the 185 80R13s I have, so that should add 0.35" clearance.
I am going with Lou's prescription for a basic stock-type upgrade:

"Camber = negative 0.2-3 degrees, matched on both sides
Caster = positive 1 degree, matched
Toe = 0.05 - 0.10" total (add both sides) "

It seems like those problem-solver bushings would not be needed for these settings and stock ride height.

Should I install standard UCA bushings or problem-solvers?


The Plan for the 63 Signet:

10" sbp drums
.870 t-bars
new rear springs - poly bushings?
moog rubber front end kit
14 x 5.5 stock wheels w/ P205 70R14 all around
